In most of Europe these are illegal. A developer tried to run a loophole in Poland recently by building a huge block of these as 'hotel rooms', but then sold them as flats to buyers. They were below existing size requirements for actual residential properties. They instantly got their permit revoked and the city refuses to certify the build. It's been deemed a 'patho-development' (as in pathological development).
Here in Germany a room under 10 qm is not even considered a full room, so you can only charge for half of the space of that room , same goes for rooms with a height lower than 1.5 m .Also in many citys here a cooking possibilty is legaly required and also a toilett and at least a shower.There are exeptions for that though, for very old buildings, that werent'builtl with individual toiletts in the first place. Germany even has regulatins around how hot your water must be from the shower after a certain amount of time.
@@SirReginald. In London uk you're sometimes paying that just for a 2 bed 1 bath in a really rubbish area. Any cheaper and you're guaranteed somethings wrong with the property or the area.

It honestly should be illegal to build living spaces like this. It's too tiny for any normal person to live in and then having the audacity to charge 2000 in rent. It's seriously a crime.
in japan it is even worst, there they split studio apartments on few smaller appartments and this ultra small almos cages litterally have toilet next to your bed space etc. and there none seea problem in it bc it is so normalized
Some apartments are small but still way better than being homeless or in a homeless shelter. All you really need is a bed, kitchen and a bathroom that's it.
@@ravenc4912 yeah I get that part man but I still don’t think you can justify shoving people in tiny boxes and charging them $2000 in rent. Sure it’s all you need physically but a lot of studies are showing that living in too small of a space can actually be bad for your mental health. If I need a full-time job The rent in a place where you can barely fit a mattress that’s an issue.
With the shared toilett/bath, they divided a whole flat into a few tiny rooms to get the most money out of it. That was a house with some 4 floor 4 room flats literally
Who would live in those places for thousands? The shared toilets is a big no shared showers an even bigger no. Got a laugh at layze trying to get in the bathroom though 🤣
Ikr what if you’re in a hurry and wanna take a shower fast then someone else from the other “apartment” is in there. And someone else has been waiting before you from one of the different “apartments”. sheesh I would lose my shit
I've never heard about these bathroom sharing until a few years ago, I was in the twilight zone and I'm a born and raised nyer. Like who the hell wants to share a bathroom with 5 apartments smelling their bodily excrement and waiting for 10 people to shower and whose responsible for the cleaning, and carrying toilet paper back and forth lol with other toiletries and I take long shits in the morning imagine a line forming as soon as you sit down😂

FYI a lot of those people who live in nyc apartments with shared bathrooms have pee buckets/jars. I haven't seen anyone use theirs for poop but living in nyc is awful.
In Ohio the last time I saw an apartment building with a shared bathroom was like 15 years ago in the rougher area of Ohio State campus. That said, the room was like 3x the size of these apartments and probably cost $200/month
Oh my God!!! I pay $1920 a month for a beautiful 3500SF ranch on 3 acres with a view of the Pikes Peak mountain range! Those people are nuts living in a 2k a month liter box!!
@@livingonhighvibeThe Pikes Peak Mountain Range is the highest summit of the Southern Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. It's about 15 miles from Colorado Springs.
We bought a house and have a huge yard for only $400/month with basically no neighbors. I really can’t understand the logic behind wanting to live that way just to be in New York lol
I know right london has become like newyork, moved to a small town and so much more value for your money for our 3 bed we pay £1200 only haha these new york prices are wild
You're totally right! I have dwarfism and I wouldn't be able to fit through there due to the way my body is structured. My joints and bones aren't shaped normally.
Ya Toronto is mad expensive too but the apartments are marginally bigger for that price. Not even sure it's legal to rent an "apartment" if it doesn't have a kitchen and bathroom honestly? You can rent a room in a house for that but not an "apartment". Not sure though.
Well this made me feel better about the fact that I pay over AUD$1800 per month for a 4 bedroom house in a shitty suburb in outer Melbourne, Australia. I've lived in some pretty tiny but expensive inner-city places before I had kids, I really don't miss those days. Looking back, I don't even know why I wanted to live in the inner city. It's so loud and gross, and insanely overpriced for being squished into a shoebox. I left my last tiny inner city apartment (in Brisbane, Queensland) shortly after my oldest son was born. The final straw was coming home from the hospital with my newborn son to discover that a sex worker/drug dealer had set up shop in the entrance to our apartment building. That, and being able to hear my neighbours above, below, and on every side of us fart was the end for me.
Australia is definitely becoming like New York very quickly. Since this person wrote this most rents went up at least 100 per week in the last 6 months. An hour away from Brisbane and I still pay $ 430 per week, for a shitty 3 bed house with no laundry and you can shake hands with the neighbours. I have possoms in the roof that fight all the time and ants that also live in another section of the roof and drop ant dirt and dead bodies all over my dining room and lounge becauseit comes throughthe cracks of the ceiling which is slatted wood like a timber floor. There's no man hole so no way to get any of them out, but it's still the cheapest rent I've seen so far. When I moved in the rent was only 290 per week. My daughter lives in a flat in inner city Brisbane and it's a single room that only fits a single bed ,with no kitchen or closet ,but it does have its own toilet and shower I guess and she pays about 80 dollars less than me, but because she can't afford even a little bit more she can't afford anywhere else as it's still the cheapest rent to be found. Australia is in the middle of a rental crisis and the number of homeless has grown dramatically over the last 12months especially, even people with good jobs are finding it hard. Where I am even so far from the city a 4 bed starts at 550 per week, it's ridiculous especially when the electricity has also been raised to stupid amounts. For 3 months electricity I now pay an average of 1200 per month. Whoever voted Labor in needs to be shot as it happens every time they get into power. I'm sure it's bound to get worse yet. 😢
I'm overweight (im not obese but still above what i should be) and let me tell you i would not even fit through the door of these 'apartments' with my big ass and curves. But considering that most of these places don't even have A STOVE OR OVEN and I'm not rich enough for takeaway every day, i think I'd starve so much I'd lose all that weight 😂
Because rentals in Australia have sky rocketed so dramatically my 25yr old plus kids can't afford to move out ,I wonder if they ever will. To be honest I don't mind because without at least 1 living at home I'll probably end up homeless, it's pretty scary really. People should be able to afford at least a single room apartment but as a single disabled person there's no way I could even do that and still afford the exorbitant electric bills or food. We are definitely not the lucky country any more. 😢
Same here! As a New Yorker myself who still lives at home I’m going to complain a lot less about my house and living situation until I make enough money to buy someplace in another state. To answer Layze’s questions, the New York life is not worth it. Not that I don’t enjoy myself here, which I do a lot. I like that there’s a lot to do, lots of places to hang out, and many people to meet, but it would be a lot better if it wasn’t noisy, smelly, and filled with trash and crazy people ready to push you off subway platforms. With that being said, I do love living in New York and there’s a lot of normal sized apartments here which I see my friends living in, but I believe it’s that fact that it’s three roommates in one apartment and that they have high paying jobs that makes it so. But yeah, try making most of living with your parents while you can. 😅
Native New Yorker here and when it comes to Giant apartments (2-4 bedrooms) only two types of people have access to those choices. The super rich and the super poor. Rich people; well no duh! But get this the poor who have government benefits get large apartments too but only in terrible neighborhoods. Wherever the crime is very high, the apartments are big. These types of "government benefit poor folks" live in large apartments and they pay anywhere from $100-$500 in rent. This is especially true with Native New Yorker's who have the added benefit of living in apartments for decades plus low income benefits. Go look up apartments in the Bronx, crazy big but crazy dangerous places to live. Also any place with projects are large. Anyway so there it is. Everyone else between the rich and poor have to live in closets without bathrooms.
Hello New Yorker, I just have a question. Is Bronx still considered pretty dangerous? My parents were in NY in the 80’s and told me some stories, but I thought it has become a lot less dangerous place as it is advertised as such. So has it improved or is that bs? And where are those high crime neighborhoods you mentioned. Thx I’m just curious, i’m from eastern eu btw.
@@emeseipacs3568 The Bronx is the last borough in New York City to experience gentrification thus leaving it the most impoverished. Right now only the outskirts of the borough are improving. If it’s “trendy” and considered “cool” then it is likely to be gentrified and more safer. Still I would not recommend traveling much to The Bronx without company and better yet a fellow New Yorker. If you want to travel for museums and such go early in the day is best. Even when NYC was at its safer times late 90s- early to mid 2000s, the Bronx never saw much improvement. Sadly it continues to be most neglected.
Wow, my two bedroom apartment with a full bathroom, kitchen, balcony and multiple closets for just over $1k/month is looking pretty good up here in Canada. 😅 I won't complain about the cost of rent ever again.
I pay $500 a month for a 3 bedroom house with a small yard in Pennsylvania lol. There's no way in hell I'd live in a city like New York and pay that much. I wouldn't live in a city no matter what though even if the rent wasn't so much. I'm 40 and lived in the same tiny town all my life until 2014. I now live in the suburbs on the outside of the small city that's next to my hometown. Majority of rent around here is less than $1000.
@@Xessa82 I own a mortgage-free home on 42 acres of forested land. Some people have to live in cities for various reasons, mine is to maintain shared custody of my young child which is very important to me and worth the added expense. I will move to my house when she's older. Until then I will just use it as a year-round cottage. It's not a big deal. Not everyone is fortunate enough or even willing to move away from a city.
Definitely don't come to Australia then something like that would be around 1000 per fortnight, double it at least. Over the last 6 months especially our rents have become ridiculous. Mine has jumped about 150 dollars per week in the last 12 months, 100 of that in just the last 6 month lease but its still the cheapest I've seen anywhere in Queensland.
@@Mouse73 when the crisis was brought to the attention of the prime minister his response was people shouldn't have spare rooms or offices and should be willing to take in strangers to help pay the rent. You can bet he would never do it though just us peasants. He openly said there wasn't enough people per house and followed it up by announcing that he's opening up immigration to an extra 1.2 million in the next few years. You think we've got a problem now wait till they start arriving. They have also discontinued almost all social housing but you can bet the immigrants will be given a place to live that's actually affordable. Thing are set to only get far worse yet. It's actually frightening the numbers of homeless are growing every day many who are full time workers and still can't afford it. They want us to live like the Chinese and are very open about it. To any Australians out there please don't vote labour ever again, all government stinks in some way but at least you could afford to live comfortably before.
It is really hard to leave New York because it offers a lot of opportunities ..However.. In 2022, after 8 years of struggles in a tiny Brooklyn apartment with no working shower, I left New York for a new job in SC. It was the best decision I ever made in my life. Living like this is not normal
There may be more to calling them litter boxes than meets the eye. Wonder if people actually make a real litter box for themselves so they don't have to share a bathroom with someone else. It may just be a good idea!
As a New Yorker who has lived in an apartment before, it was TORTURE. WAY to many stairs, tiny ass rooms, not enough space, not even a dining room, and a fridge handle that broke off. If you have that apt now, I feel so bad.
I found your channel a couple of months ago. Your videos always make me laugh! With all the dark things happening in our Country right now. I need someone to make me smile! So Thank you!
When I was a student in Glasgow, Scotland I lived in bedsits, which were basically a bedroom in an old house where you shared the kitchen and bathroom. The room would have a bed, sink, wardrobe and chair. Sometimes you had your own kitchen which would be just a cooker in the room, with shelves for pots and dishes. They were small and but even they were bigger than most of these 'apartments'. They were cheap too.They could be pretty good for single people on low incomes. They were always cold though😮. Nothing wrong with living in a small space but some of these were just large cupboards.I do have anxiety and depression so the shared bathroom/kitchen was always a struggle but I couldn't afford to rent a one bedroom flat. In terms of space the rooms were a good size, and I was generally lucky with landlords. The neighbours were usually unemployed people and students. The only problem you got was loud music.As to the shared bathrooms, there was usually a bathroom for every three or four people, so waiting times were no worse than a family bathroom. As long ss you had a decent landlord they could be a good way to live cheaply in a lovely Victorian house. These apartments look badly designedand crammed in. They'd make you claustrophobic. I suppose most people are just sleeping in them.
I'm in Vancouver, BC. I pay $1,500 for 650 sq. ft. My landlady keeps my rent low because I help around the property. I'm in a nice neighbourhood, she could probably get over 2 grand for it. My sister in Montreal pays the same price for a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom beautiful apartment.
The guy with the water damage above his bed, his "apartment" is almost 2 square meters smaller than the minimum surface you're legally allowed to rent as a living space in France.
I kinda blame all those movies from the early 2000s that took place in New York also the many marvel movies and the frank Sinatra song All overly romanticize new York life and paint an unrealistic portrait. Because of this ppl move there for that false portrait and false anesthetic depicted or described in movies, music, & TV.
as an immigrant,this is 100% true And ive heard so many other people say that movies have romanticized New York,i personally always wanted to see New York because i've always seen it in movies.Its almost the same thing with France(Paris)&Italy.
In my opinion it’s nice as a visitor for like a week or so. But if you live here for like 8 years the city will drive you crazy. The movies are partially right. They just leave out the parts with all the garbage and rats on the street and the constantly looking behind your back.
Where I live isn't the cheapest in terms of housing but for 3200 I got 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, extra office, 2 stories, 4 car garage, front yard, back yard, hardwood floors, nice neighborhood, etc.
My very first apartment was in Nyack, NY (across the Hudson and maybe a 20-30 miles drive to be in NYC). This was 1978 and I was earning $5000/year and my reant was $90/month (owned by the college I was working for). I had a kitchen that I could touch two walls at the same time. The dining table was in this kitchen. I then had a living/bedrom room. My bathroom was>go out of my apartment, go down two steps>turn left>walk a bit and then turn right> walk straight and into a bathroom that I shared with 2 other apartments (all female). In one way, it was a bit worse for one girl. Her apartment was a kitchen/dining room, then go outside her kitchen walk past the bathroom and then into her bed/sitting room. The bathroom wasn't locked, but I think when she left one of her rooms she locked the doors. Crazy. I didn't last there very long and came back to get married and to move into a brand new 1000 sq. ft. ranch house with a basement, yards, kitchen, dining area, living room, three bedrooms and a bathroom. Felt like a bit of luxury for sure. Our mortgage was a little over $400/month. Oh yes, one of my walls in my apartment had a big blurp coming out of the wall, sort of like the pregnant ceiling. Took them months before they came and fixed it. I have no idea why people live in NYC and spend that kind of money on apartments except they either want to be actors, or climb up some corporate ladder that will allow them to move to a different part of the country. Don't get me started on how rude customer service was.
My dad lives there in the 40s. It was the Bronx. ( He's Puerto Rican) He was telling me how small it was & I called him a lair my entire life. He passed away almost 9 years ago. He moved from there to Queens. He left Puerto Rico obviously to there. Don't ask how he ended up from there to Chicago and settled in Michigan😂 I guess he liked the prices.🤷🏽♀ My parents thought they were living large. If they weren't both gone ( mom 23 years in January) They would definitely not be happy right now.
In Poland we call this patodeveloperka which basically means patological housing provided by big companies and government is fighting that and enforcing possibility to buy your own apartment or house by making possible to take a preferencial loans to people earning less.
Honestly didn't know that was illegal here in Sweden XD But makes sense since every place has to have a bathroom and a kitchen Even the smallest ass apartment here in sweden is way bigger than any of these apartments!
Randomly stumbling across this channel and now I'm a subscriber. I've been hooked and binge-watching your vids but still haven't caught up yet, I need more time to catch up but I wanna leave a positive comment so this is it. Love your sarcastic and telenovela dramatic humor/acting/editing, it feels like I'm having fun conversations with a friend, at least you remind me of some of my good old friends... Nice hair, fun presented personality and good looking, hilarious reactions and acting, I enjoy your contents. You mentioned you're interested in acting, and you like making youtube contents and there were times you had difficulty thinking about what topics/contents to make, so I'd like to suggest making short scenario comedy skits with your original characters. I've noticed it's quite popular, and those creators grow quite rapidly. I feel like it's what you would watching and creating too as those skits generally have sarcastic/ironic humor with dramatic acting and editing effects. eg: Cameron Geller, Trey Kennedy, TonyTalks, Andrew Rousso. Considering your sense of humor, maybe you'd like MacDoesIt's content too, although his contents are not comedy skits. Wish you luck, happiness and all the best, really hope to see your channel grow bigger because I believe you have potential and you're still underrated/in hidden gem era (in my opinion). 😸
I’m 9 months behind but I have say this is the funniest shit ever!! I thought Londoners had it bad, but this is WILD! Over a grand for an apparent that you share a bathroom with 🤣 what in the first year of uni is this?!!!
I pay for a $600 studio/ house in Arizona and it’s literally 10 times bigger than all of this 😂 and I have my own bathroom and there’s laundry on-site (there’s about 5 more tiny houses/studios next to me).
You lie - I also live in AZ and I'm not sure where these kinds of prices exist in AZ but certainly not anywhere where there are jobs, like anywhere in the Valley, or up and down and left and right the I-17 and 1-40 corridors. Or maybe you live on one of the reservations and commute 90 minutes to work, or something like that.
Haven't heard of an apartment costing $600 since 10 years ago. And that was for 1 bedroom, not a studio. You must be sacrificing something for that, commute or a discount.

I live in KY and my rent is $600 with the new landlord, but before it was half that price. The fact people are spending thousands on apartments that can't even fit a toddler is baffling.
I've stayed in ceils bigger than these and they had a toilet and wash hand basin in them. I didn't have to pay rent and got two meals a day, healthcare, could also earn money the only problem was eye contact in the shower room
These so called “apartments” are smaller than my college dorm room!! I didn’t have a full kitchen but I had a fridge and microwave, along with a few other small appliances. My 1st year I was in a dorm suite, sharing the dorm w/ a roommate as well as the shower and double toilet area with the dorm next to me…my suite mates...no communal bathrooms.The next year, I moved to a private room b/ I’m disabled, so I had even more space with my own larger, private bathroom. It baffles me that people willingly choose to live in NYC, mainly for status, despite giving up practically ever basic amenity. There are plenty of great cities in the US other than NYC…and even if you want to live in NYC, you don’t have to live IN the city…there’s tons of nearby areas like Long Island, Jersey, etc. Why are y’all putting yourselves through this torture?!

A college dorm room puts these apartments to shame 😭
Not really because dorm rooms you have to share with someone else. Someone else that you don't know LOL 😂😂😂😂😂 I don't know what kind of dorm rooms you're living in! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂 yea😂😂😂
Deadass😂😂😂😂I’d take a college dorm room with a roommate over this 😂😂😂
And you can get to know each other? Blud am NOT living in a mail box😭🙏@@CuddlesNCassy
@@CuddlesNCassy Not gonna lie, even accounting for the roommate, dividing the room down the middle and the fact that we had a walk in closet and sink......yeah if it was New York, that thing would have costed $5000.

I pay $500 for a 4 bedroom house so each of my kids and I have our own rooms! LMAO Thank God for small town America! LMFAO

In Ohio the last time I saw an apartment building with a shared bathroom was like 15 years ago in the rougher area of Ohio State campus. That said, the room was like 3x the size of these apartments and probably cost $200/month

I know right london has become like newyork, moved to a small town and so much more value for your money for our 3 bed we pay £1200 only haha these new york prices are wild
Same, my house was 500 something a month, cant imagine spending more than that.
That bathroom is NOT fatphobic, It's peoplephobic

New Yorkers really living like my sims character,
As a Californian I’m at least grateful we can get actual bathroom with those prices.
Yeayyyy a fellow simmer! Sul Sul 😊
Ya Toronto is mad expensive too but the apartments are marginally bigger for that price. Not even sure it's legal to rent an "apartment" if it doesn't have a kitchen and bathroom honestly? You can rent a room in a house for that but not an "apartment". Not sure though.
Well this made me feel better about the fact that I pay over AUD$1800 per month for a 4 bedroom house in a shitty suburb in outer Melbourne, Australia. I've lived in some pretty tiny but expensive inner-city places before I had kids, I really don't miss those days. Looking back, I don't even know why I wanted to live in the inner city. It's so loud and gross, and insanely overpriced for being squished into a shoebox. I left my last tiny inner city apartment (in Brisbane, Queensland) shortly after my oldest son was born. The final straw was coming home from the hospital with my newborn son to discover that a sex worker/drug dealer had set up shop in the entrance to our apartment building. That, and being able to hear my neighbours above, below, and on every side of us fart was the end for me.
Australia is definitely becoming like New York very quickly. Since this person wrote this most rents went up at least 100 per week in the last 6 months. An hour away from Brisbane and I still pay $ 430 per week, for a shitty 3 bed house with no laundry and you can shake hands with the neighbours. I have possoms in the roof that fight all the time and ants that also live in another section of the roof and drop ant dirt and dead bodies all over my dining room and lounge becauseit comes throughthe cracks of the ceiling which is slatted wood like a timber floor. There's no man hole so no way to get any of them out, but it's still the cheapest rent I've seen so far. When I moved in the rent was only 290 per week. My daughter lives in a flat in inner city Brisbane and it's a single room that only fits a single bed ,with no kitchen or closet ,but it does have its own toilet and shower I guess and she pays about 80 dollars less than me, but because she can't afford even a little bit more she can't afford anywhere else as it's still the cheapest rent to be found. Australia is in the middle of a rental crisis and the number of homeless has grown dramatically over the last 12months especially, even people with good jobs are finding it hard. Where I am even so far from the city a 4 bed starts at 550 per week, it's ridiculous especially when the electricity has also been raised to stupid amounts. For 3 months electricity I now pay an average of 1200 per month. Whoever voted Labor in needs to be shot as it happens every time they get into power. I'm sure it's bound to get worse yet. 😢
I'm overweight (im not obese but still above what i should be) and let me tell you i would not even fit through the door of these 'apartments' with my big ass and curves. But considering that most of these places don't even have A STOVE OR OVEN and I'm not rich enough for takeaway every day, i think I'd starve so much I'd lose all that weight 😂
I'd rather live with my parents in luxury 😂😂😂
Because rentals in Australia have sky rocketed so dramatically my 25yr old plus kids can't afford to move out ,I wonder if they ever will. To be honest I don't mind because without at least 1 living at home I'll probably end up homeless, it's pretty scary really. People should be able to afford at least a single room apartment but as a single disabled person there's no way I could even do that and still afford the exorbitant electric bills or food. We are definitely not the lucky country any more. 😢
Same here! As a New Yorker myself who still lives at home I’m going to complain a lot less about my house and living situation until I make enough money to buy someplace in another state. To answer Layze’s questions, the New York life is not worth it. Not that I don’t enjoy myself here, which I do a lot. I like that there’s a lot to do, lots of places to hang out, and many people to meet, but it would be a lot better if it wasn’t noisy, smelly, and filled with trash and crazy people ready to push you off subway platforms. With that being said, I do love living in New York and there’s a lot of normal sized apartments here which I see my friends living in, but I believe it’s that fact that it’s three roommates in one apartment and that they have high paying jobs that makes it so. But yeah, try making most of living with your parents while you can. 😅
Amen to that 😂 at my parent house i have space, food and confort
I would be a little terrified knowing the apartment next to me was cooking in the closet.
I would be so anxious and angry all the time 😭
You just described me lol I hate it here
Native New Yorker here and when it comes to Giant apartments (2-4 bedrooms) only two types of people have access to those choices. The super rich and the super poor. Rich people; well no duh! But get this the poor who have government benefits get large apartments too but only in terrible neighborhoods. Wherever the crime is very high, the apartments are big. These types of "government benefit poor folks" live in large apartments and they pay anywhere from $100-$500 in rent. This is especially true with Native New Yorker's who have the added benefit of living in apartments for decades plus low income benefits.
Go look up apartments in the Bronx, crazy big but crazy dangerous places to live. Also any place with projects are large.
Anyway so there it is. Everyone else between the rich and poor have to live in closets without bathrooms.
I agree. My mom lives in the projects and her apartment is huge.
Hello New Yorker, I just have a question. Is Bronx still considered pretty dangerous? My parents were in NY in the 80’s and told me some stories, but I thought it has become a lot less dangerous place as it is advertised as such. So has it improved or is that bs? And where are those high crime neighborhoods you mentioned. Thx I’m just curious, i’m from eastern eu btw.
@@emeseipacs3568 The Bronx is the last borough in New York City to experience gentrification thus leaving it the most impoverished. Right now only the outskirts of the borough are improving. If it’s “trendy” and considered “cool” then it is likely to be gentrified and more safer. Still I would not recommend traveling much to The Bronx without company and better yet a fellow New Yorker. If you want to travel for museums and such go early in the day is best. Even when NYC was at its safer times late 90s- early to mid 2000s, the Bronx never saw much improvement. Sadly it continues to be most neglected.
@@ilener1698 Thank you for your answer, it's most interesting. I hope someday the circumstances will improve for folks there.
Wow, my two bedroom apartment with a full bathroom, kitchen, balcony and multiple closets for just over $1k/month is looking pretty good up here in Canada. 😅 I won't complain about the cost of rent ever again.
I pay $500 a month for a 3 bedroom house with a small yard in Pennsylvania lol. There's no way in hell I'd live in a city like New York and pay that much. I wouldn't live in a city no matter what though even if the rent wasn't so much. I'm 40 and lived in the same tiny town all my life until 2014. I now live in the suburbs on the outside of the small city that's next to my hometown. Majority of rent around here is less than $1000.
@@Xessa82 I own a mortgage-free home on 42 acres of forested land. Some people have to live in cities for various reasons, mine is to maintain shared custody of my young child which is very important to me and worth the added expense. I will move to my house when she's older. Until then I will just use it as a year-round cottage. It's not a big deal. Not everyone is fortunate enough or even willing to move away from a city.
Definitely don't come to Australia then something like that would be around 1000 per fortnight, double it at least. Over the last 6 months especially our rents have become ridiculous. Mine has jumped about 150 dollars per week in the last 12 months, 100 of that in just the last 6 month lease but its still the cheapest I've seen anywhere in Queensland.
@@tabbi888 that's absolutely ridiculous. It seems the goal is to push people into tiny spaces like cattle.
@@Mouse73 when the crisis was brought to the attention of the prime minister his response was people shouldn't have spare rooms or offices and should be willing to take in strangers to help pay the rent. You can bet he would never do it though just us peasants. He openly said there wasn't enough people per house and followed it up by announcing that he's opening up immigration to an extra 1.2 million in the next few years. You think we've got a problem now wait till they start arriving. They have also discontinued almost all social housing but you can bet the immigrants will be given a place to live that's actually affordable. Thing are set to only get far worse yet. It's actually frightening the numbers of homeless are growing every day many who are full time workers and still can't afford it. They want us to live like the Chinese and are very open about it. To any Australians out there please don't vote labour ever again, all government stinks in some way but at least you could afford to live comfortably before.
It is really hard to leave New York because it offers a lot of opportunities ..However.. In 2022, after 8 years of struggles in a tiny Brooklyn apartment with no working shower, I left New York for a new job in SC. It was the best decision I ever made in my life. Living like this is not normal
Living in that wreck of a city ain’t worth any opportunity it can give you 💀
There may be more to calling them litter boxes than meets the eye. Wonder if people actually make a real litter box for themselves so they don't have to share a bathroom with someone else. It may just be a good idea!
As a New Yorker who has lived in an apartment before, it was TORTURE. WAY to many stairs, tiny ass rooms, not enough space, not even a dining room, and a fridge handle that broke off. If you have that apt now, I feel so bad.
“I love the environment and the peacefulness ☺️”

I found your channel a couple of months ago. Your videos always make me laugh! With all the dark things happening in our Country right now. I need someone to make me smile! So Thank you!
They’ve turned box rooms in to whole apartments 😮
When I was a student in Glasgow, Scotland I lived in bedsits, which were basically a bedroom in an old house where you shared the kitchen and bathroom. The room would have a bed, sink, wardrobe and chair. Sometimes you had your own kitchen which would be just a cooker in the room, with shelves for pots and dishes. They were small and but even they were bigger than most of these 'apartments'. They were cheap too.They could be pretty good for single people on low incomes. They were always cold though😮. Nothing wrong with living in a small space but some of these were just large cupboards.I do have anxiety and depression so the shared bathroom/kitchen was always a struggle but I couldn't afford to rent a one bedroom flat. In terms of space the rooms were a good size, and I was generally lucky with landlords. The neighbours were usually unemployed people and students. The only problem you got was loud music.As to the shared bathrooms, there was usually a bathroom for every three or four people, so waiting times were no worse than a family bathroom. As long ss you had a decent landlord they could be a good way to live cheaply in a lovely Victorian house.
These apartments look badly designedand crammed in. They'd make you claustrophobic. I suppose most people are just sleeping in them.
I'm in Vancouver, BC. I pay $1,500 for 650 sq. ft. My landlady keeps my rent low because I help around the property. I'm in a nice neighbourhood, she could probably get over 2 grand for it. My sister in Montreal pays the same price for a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom beautiful apartment.
For any new Yorker willing to rent for 7000$ a month my closet can fit 4 people of one doesn't mind clinging onto the ceiling for dear life
the one with the water damaged loft is actually super cute but that water pocket has to go 😂
Ι loveeee your house reaction videos so much! You made my day! 😂🏡
The guy with the water damage above his bed, his "apartment" is almost 2 square meters smaller than the minimum surface you're legally allowed to rent as a living space in France.
11:23. That's the same Building as the other guy!!!! Same shared bathroom, just another appartement down the hall!! How crazy ist that?
I was abt to ask abt this!!
I kinda blame all those movies from the early 2000s that took place in New York also the many marvel movies and the frank Sinatra song All overly romanticize new York life and paint an unrealistic portrait. Because of this ppl move there for that false portrait and false anesthetic depicted or described in movies, music, & TV.
as an immigrant,this is 100% true
And ive heard so many other people say that movies have romanticized New York,i personally always wanted to see New York because i've always seen it in movies.Its almost the same thing with France(Paris)&Italy.
@@Layze So ur telling me I'm not missing out?
In my opinion it’s nice as a visitor for like a week or so. But if you live here for like 8 years the city will drive you crazy. The movies are partially right. They just leave out the parts with all the garbage and rats on the street and the constantly looking behind your back.
Where I live isn't the cheapest in terms of housing but for 3200 I got 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, extra office, 2 stories, 4 car garage, front yard, back yard, hardwood floors, nice neighborhood, etc.
My very first apartment was in Nyack, NY (across the Hudson and maybe a 20-30 miles drive to be in NYC). This was 1978 and I was earning $5000/year and my reant was $90/month (owned by the college I was working for). I had a kitchen that I could touch two walls at the same time. The dining table was in this kitchen. I then had a living/bedrom room. My bathroom was>go out of my apartment, go down two steps>turn left>walk a bit and then turn right> walk straight and into a bathroom that I shared with 2 other apartments (all female). In one way, it was a bit worse for one girl. Her apartment was a kitchen/dining room, then go outside her kitchen walk past the bathroom and then into her bed/sitting room. The bathroom wasn't locked, but I think when she left one of her rooms she locked the doors. Crazy. I didn't last there very long and came back to get married and to move into a brand new 1000 sq. ft. ranch house with a basement, yards, kitchen, dining area, living room, three bedrooms and a bathroom. Felt like a bit of luxury for sure. Our mortgage was a little over $400/month. Oh yes, one of my walls in my apartment had a big blurp coming out of the wall, sort of like the pregnant ceiling. Took them months before they came and fixed it.
I have no idea why people live in NYC and spend that kind of money on apartments except they either want to be actors, or climb up some corporate ladder that will allow them to move to a different part of the country. Don't get me started on how rude customer service was.
My dad lives there in the 40s. It was the Bronx. ( He's Puerto Rican) He was telling me how small it was & I called him a lair my entire life. He passed away almost 9 years ago. He moved from there to Queens. He left Puerto Rico obviously to there. Don't ask how he ended up from there to Chicago and settled in Michigan😂 I guess he liked the prices.🤷🏽♀ My parents thought they were living large. If they weren't both gone ( mom 23 years in January) They would definitely not be happy right now.
I’ve been to a few of these, friends incredibly successful live in a closet, I’ll never understand it
Thanks for making me laugh
In Poland we call this patodeveloperka which basically means patological housing provided by big companies and government is fighting that and enforcing possibility to buy your own apartment or house by making possible to take a preferencial loans to people earning less.

Randomly stumbling across this channel and now I'm a subscriber. I've been hooked and binge-watching your vids but still haven't caught up yet, I need more time to catch up but I wanna leave a positive comment so this is it.
Love your sarcastic and telenovela dramatic humor/acting/editing, it feels like I'm having fun conversations with a friend, at least you remind me of some of my good old friends... Nice hair, fun presented personality and good looking, hilarious reactions and acting, I enjoy your contents.
You mentioned you're interested in acting, and you like making youtube contents and there were times you had difficulty thinking about what topics/contents to make, so I'd like to suggest making short scenario comedy skits with your original characters. I've noticed it's quite popular, and those creators grow quite rapidly. I feel like it's what you would watching and creating too as those skits generally have sarcastic/ironic humor with dramatic acting and editing effects. eg: Cameron Geller, Trey Kennedy, TonyTalks, Andrew Rousso. Considering your sense of humor, maybe you'd like MacDoesIt's content too, although his contents are not comedy skits.
Wish you luck, happiness and all the best, really hope to see your channel grow bigger because I believe you have potential and you're still underrated/in hidden gem era (in my opinion). 😸

I pay for a $600 studio/ house in Arizona and it’s literally 10 times bigger than all of this 😂 and I have my own bathroom and there’s laundry on-site (there’s about 5 more tiny houses/studios next to me).
You lie - I also live in AZ and I'm not sure where these kinds of prices exist in AZ but certainly not anywhere where there are jobs, like anywhere in the Valley, or up and down and left and right the I-17 and 1-40 corridors. Or maybe you live on one of the reservations and commute 90 minutes to work, or something like that.
Haven't heard of an apartment costing $600 since 10 years ago. And that was for 1 bedroom, not a studio. You must be sacrificing something for that, commute or a discount.

I've stayed in ceils bigger than these and they had a toilet and wash hand basin in them. I didn't have to pay rent and got two meals a day, healthcare, could also earn money the only problem was eye contact in the shower room
These so called “apartments” are smaller than my college dorm room!! I didn’t have a full kitchen but I had a fridge and microwave, along with a few other small appliances. My 1st year I was in a dorm suite, sharing the dorm w/ a roommate as well as the shower and double toilet area with the dorm next to me…my suite mates...no communal bathrooms.The next year, I moved to a private room b/ I’m disabled, so I had even more space with my own larger, private bathroom.
It baffles me that people willingly choose to live in NYC, mainly for status, despite giving up practically ever basic amenity. There are plenty of great cities in the US other than NYC…and even if you want to live in NYC, you don’t have to live IN the city…there’s tons of nearby areas like Long Island, Jersey, etc. Why are y’all putting yourselves through this torture?!
