Not to be callous, but if aren't already paying $3500/mo then you aren't paying NYC rents. If Amazon moves in, they'll just build another half dozen highrise apartments and rates will stay about the same.
NCR, a new Tech tower, perhaps something new around BellSouth, Metlife at 17th street... Atlanta has almost twice as many people as Seattle, and unlike a sleepy coffee town has always been dominated by corporate culture. Even if Amazon moved their whole company here, it wouldn't change the city that much.
- vinceguidry 9y agoApartments.com lists 4098 1 bedroom apartments in Manhattan alone in my rent range, $2-2.5k/month. All over the island. They might not be as nice as my swanky high rise, but I consider it to be comparable. Certainly whenever someone asks me how much I'm paying at my current place their eyes bug out.
- ynniv 9y agoThey might not be as nice as my swanky high rise I mean... this isn’t how price comparisons work? You can rent a studio on Peachtree in Midtown for $1,000 a month if it isn’t “swanky”. It probably has the same square footage as that $2,500 “1 bedroom” in Manhattan. Living in a city isn’t cheap.
