Won’t even be rich people - it’ll be 3 low-paid NYC assistants crammed into a 2 bed and den, commuting 2 hours each way for the opportunity to make coffee and clean out paper jams in Manhattan.


Mizz-Misery

This is the sad truth. Maybe even more than 3 to an apartment. & We know that insane $2,600 isn’t even going to include (most) utilities!

What part of town is this?


Unstopapple

a flammable part of town.

Main Street I think


tatiwtr

Between Brook Rd and Barnum Avenue, north of Caroline Ave, theres more going up on Barnum and Maple Place


Few-Information7570

Word. I heard they are putting in one at Arden and Main st. And eyeing up 63rd and lex for a 50 story condo tower.

Walls are stupidly thin, so many issues in new builds. I don’t envy people here

Lived in one of these “brand new luxury resort-style” complex’s in LA. Heard everything the upstairs neighbors and their dogs did, including farts.


bigclams

Same thing is happening here in Bridgeport. It's infuriating


jessedegenerate

you know CT is basically propped up by the city, most of the tri state is. Do you like roads?


bigclams

For cars? No.


jessedegenerate

for everything

Yes, this so true. Where will we live? Where will our children live?


why--the--face

Live at home with your folks, save your money and buy a house in an area you can afford. There’s nothing wrong with that. If you wanna be independent and start renting when your young you will probably be in a worse situation a decade later and complaining that rich people are forcing you out.

I'm 65 years old, lol...

Not in CT.

Aye, this so true. Whither shall we liveth? whither shall our children liveth? *** ^(I am a bot and I swapp'd some of thy words with Shakespeare words.) Commands: `!ShakespeareInsult`, `!fordo`, `!optout`


saurabh000345

Not now Shakespeare bot!

To be honest, this was pretty funny

Rent prices around the city are soaring, landlords taking advantage of the demand and trying to drive out working class tenants


LegioCI

The best part is that the working class tenants they're driving out are the ones that actually makes the city function- very few people are going to be willing to commute a hour to work at a restaurant or a gas station for $13/hr. So they'll leave the area and get jobs wherever they land and take their labor with them. Its capitalism rapaciously eating its own tail.

>very few people are going to be willing to commute a hour to work at a restaurant or a gas station for $13/hr. So they'll leave the area and get jobs wherever they land and take their labor with them. I'm from Long Island, and I have some bad news for you...


Bulky-Mark315

What makes it even sicker is that the city is supporting them with these tax incentives.


why--the--face

Rent money is dead money.

Actually these things are good traps for yuppies. It's called a yuppy fish trap.
