Who can afford to live in Brooklyn these days? Granted, I'm not familiar with the borough but I do know that the rental prices are very high as I assume the home prices are. It's the same thing in Manhattan. You pay $3,500/mo for a tiny studio overlooking the back alley.

no around Barclays u can get a 1br thats decent for 2700. something really trashy, or like 5 blocks from subway you can get down to 2400
if u want something nice like having washer/dryer in unit u can pay 3200-4000 for a 1br
It'll be interesting to how business models change in the coming year of two post-COVID and how that will effect the local housing markets. Do you live in one of the 5?
Philadelphia, where I used to live for about 30 years, has a much more affordable housing market.
No I actually live on the west coast rn. I'm moving back to nyc soon
my friend in the west village tells me that the deals for rentals are pretty much gone. they are still 10% off peak or so but you're no longer really able to negotiate anymore according to her. a lot of landlords sat on empty units and didn't even bother marketing them at 20%+ off in Manhattan from what she told me.
Philly is actually a really cool city to live in rn imo. super underrated but there is quite a bit of gentrifying struggle going on rn in a lot of neighborhoods. you can get an actually decent townhouse in an ok-ish neighborhood for under 300k still from what I remember.
