Whoa, I too have around two pairs of shoes (for every season, grand total of maybe five) and never owned a car.
"For as little as about $500 a month, You+ residents gain access to a private room with a bathroom"
Whoa whoa, for $500 a month, I imagine you could rent a full apartment mostly anywhere in China, could not you?
Sounds like a very expensive way to own nothing.
Having said that, sharing apartments is all rage where I live. It's cheaper to rent 3 bedroom apartment and divide the price between 3-6 people than renting one bedroom flat for yourself only. In places where housing is expensive this saves young people without stellar paychecks. Company is also nice when you get to choose who to live with.
- guard-of-terra 11y ago"These days, he shares a bedroom with three others, each paying about $300 a month." Now that sounds totally overpriced. Is Beijing such an expensive city already?
- kuschku 11y agoIn my city (in Germany, even!) the housing situation isn’t better. "9m² apartment in a suburban house, on the attic – 150€/month, time limited offer of 3 months". "11m² apartment subsidized by government, kitchen and bathroom shared with 30 other apartments, 350€/month" Housing just is expensive.
- svachalek 11y agoYes. That sounds like a fairly middle class part of Beijing, the expensive areas (toward the center) would run 3X that, or more.
