In New York most people on a realistic budget have no choice but to settle for a non-crappy apartment. Often times what looks like a deal, or even just affordable, is priced that way for a reason: it has bedbugs, it's right above a bar, it's right below the J train, someone just was murdered in it, etc.
It's actually pretty useful to have a registry of what truly sucks so you don't waste your time.
- pavel_lishin 16y ago> someone just was murdered in it I never understood why this icked someone out (unless they were murdered by a random drive-by - that indicates a local crime problem). I'd LOVE to find a place that wasn't renting because someone died in it - I wouldn't care in the least, and the rent would be low.
