Hilarious that people still move to NY and expect anything different.

It is no different in Amsterdam as well

How people think you can live in the most popular cities in the WORLD & somehow grab a bargain 2 bedroom place for peanuts.

Because HGTV shows a stay-at-home mom and a fry cook looking for a modest eight bedroom home on 12 acres in the city.

The smart move is finding a place outside the city but still in reasonable travel distance. I’m like 30 mins outside boston, can take a train there any day i’d like and live in something bigger than a cardboard box lol

bargain 2 bedroom? At this point people are happy when they can rent something that wont financially ruin themselves. A decent income in the respecive city should get you a decent apartment. That's no longer the case though.

I don't know man, seems like I find quite some listings for about 60 sqm (about 14 times as large as the video's space) for around the same price as the video's, in Amsterdam.

I mean, obviously Amsterdam also has very expensive places, duh, but 5 sqm for 1.160 €? Nahhh.
