    I have lived here in the lower east side and what he's not showing you is that this building is right by the delancey street where the entrance to the Williamsburg Bridge is. Delancey street has gotten worse in the oat few years. So the building is nice but the immediate area isn't the safest. So for $4000 dollars you are throwing your money down the drain.

    You can fit an entire studio apt inside 30 square feet easily. At least by NYC standards. That is by no means micro.

    The only way for prices to go down is if DEMAND goes down. People have to be willing to leave New York so the prices can get a chance to match demand, but not many people are willing to leave and more people just keep pouring in 🤷🏽‍♀️

    As soon as I saw the Murphy bed I just noped right out of there. And I love how you said the apartments have been plaNned and laid out extremely well... If your a fuckin constant bachelor OR you and your significant other plan on never having kids, having family or friends stay for longer than a day and your both against owning any kind of pet bigger than a fuckin medium dog AT BEST. Trying to keep a dog like a German Shepherd or golden retriever in this room will be absolute torture and honestly should be considered some level of cruelty. Larger dogs as well as cats and other animals need a lot of space to move and so do people. It's the most dysfunctional apartment I have ever witnessed.
