Not that much surprisingly, NYC property taxes on a lot of property isn't that high. There are plenty of million dollar properties that you may only be paying 7000 annually for
It should be illegal to have increasing insurance, increasing property taxes, increasing HOA, increasing everything which leads the landlord to maybe save 100 bucks towards the broken toilet.
You joke but that's literally how it is.... Like Adam Smith literally described landlords will raise the rent to whatever price people can pay. Adam Smith talked about farmers because it was 1776, but you get the point. "The rent of land, therefore, considered as the price paid for the use of the land, is naturally a monopoly price. It is not at all proportioned to what the landlord may have laid out upon the improvement of the land, or to what he can afford to take; but to what the farmer can afford to give." - Adam Smith, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, Book I, Chapter XI "Of the Rent of Land" P.S. The solution to this is called a land value tax or a community land trust
highway fucking robbery. the price gauging is insane meanwhile there is over 100,000 vacant apartments waiting to be renovated in NYC but never will because government is scum doesnt put any pressure on landlords. i get landloards too but 100,000 empty apartments in NYC would help ease pricing on the housing market.

A 3 bedroom apartment outside of Manhattan you can get by $875-1000 per room. But you also get a bathroom, kitchen and living room. This $1100 apartment is very expensive per foot. This would be a $11k a month apartment if it was full size.
The houses in my town (with no central AC and under 1,000 sqft) are going for more than $200 a sqft and that’s why I know I’ll never be able to afford a house

@David Chavez umm it's New York mfker. It's a studio apartment and if you don't like it then leave. Not that hard to figure and proper apartments are also available which is around 4k a month and above
Ohhh please dude, this guy’s landlord is laughing his ass off all the way to the bank. You can bet your ass he isn’t calling this an apartment or room he’s just using it for “storage” or some shit bc face it, it’s a janitor’s work closet not an apartment.
