The Price 20-Somethings Pay to Live in the City

  Dup: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1903833 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1903833 (which also, conveniently, is the printed word and not audio or video, which is just plain annoying). But I guess the difference between then and now was then I lived in Australia. Now I pay through the nose to live in Manhattan. But hey, I'm not 20-something. :P

  Eh, it works for them. If you don't have a desire for much stuff then it works fine. I'm in a relatively spacious ~550sqft 1BR and I don't really know what I'd do with more space than that. However, unlike some of the people interviewed, I do get lots of light and it's in a nice area.

  Open link. "Click to listen" sigh Close tab. You would hope that nytimes, of all places, would be free of audio content.

    Too bad for you. Hearing the actual voices and what they enunciate actually ads a ton to the story.
    • sbierwagen 16y ago
      Yes, if you: 1.) Have the time to spend listening to them (five minutes or longer, rather than just skimming an article) 2.) Are not using a mobile device. 3.) Are using a machine that has flash installed. 4.) Are not at work, and thus can listen to an audio file.
