    This girl is a marketing genius. She used this $650 dollar apartment to get well over 100k of free advertising for her social media and business ventures. This is the best business move she has made in her life.

      Doesn't NYC have Board of Health regulations? This is disgusting. Does the poor dog have to live closed up like that? If so, she should be reported for animal cruelty. Who would keep that size dog in what is essentially a tomb? This is my idea of a nightmare.

      @@TubeTorte the dog is at doggy daycare all day and when she gets home she takes him for a long walk at the dog part before bed.
      She also doesn’t shower there. She has a gym membership at a really nice gym where she showers.
      At the end of the day I agree that the apt is too small for the dog but she’s making the best of it. At least the dog has a home and is taken care of.

      @arlichar11 Рік тому +10

      its very good question, ive always noticed most apartments are never made with comfort or ideal needs met, its just random configurations, and you get what u get ! my guess is the demand for space is so high, that they were created just to make money...!

    • @AllFlimmits
      @AllFlimmits Рік тому +5

      I've read something about landlords in NYC splitting apartments in half or in thirds every few years 1. So that they can have more tenants, but 2. Because there's rent control in new york, so they get around the restriction by technically making it a "new apartment". It could even be as simple of a change as like knocking out the dividing walls and replacing them in a slightly different way.

    My husband and I spent almost 9 years as team truck drivers living together in a space WAY smaller than this girl’s apartment. We had no sink, water, had to use rest areas or truck stops or a bottle for a toilet. Kneeled on the floor to cook and food prep, usually while the truck was moving. Had a microwave and plug in skillet for the last few years because the first 5 or so, we weren’t allowed inverters over 500W, so no electricity. Once you have lived for years as a team trucker, believe me, you can live anywhere else and feel like you’ve moved up in the world!

    When I was in my freshman dorm room (a quad lmao) I bunked my bed so that I was about the same exact proximity from the ceiling. I grew up sleeping in a loft bed so I thought it would be fine and it would keep me from spending too much time in my bed. I went the whole 9 months without rearranging it, but I've never gone back since... Getting out in the morning is honestly one of the worst parts. You kinda have to slither down.

    Its crazy that Im super poor, way below the poverty line and the flat I live in is basically 15 times bigger then that one, having my own living room, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and hallway And I still pay less then 650 dollars, infact I pay 450 euros, in one of the most expensive capitals in Europe in terms of ratio of wages and rent price. this is just a testament to how insanely fucking expensive New York City is, the rent is too damn high!

    I’m more concerned about the dog than anything else.
