What was the concession ( just curious ) ?

  No rent increase + 1 month free (July) + a discount on one month’s rent (August). Amortized over the full 12 month term, it effectively knocks a few hundred dollars per month off of a (very small) one bedroom apartment (with an in-unit washer/dryer!) in lower Manhattan.

    You think staying in Manhattan is going to be worth it during the fall/winter? Basically nothing to do besides order takeout and walk around, bad weather. No big concerts, etc.

      I’m gonna be honest this is difficult to parse. I’ve lived here for nearly 5 years now, and it sounds like you’re kind of describing Manhattan in the winter nearly any year. I’ll likely do most of the things I’d do anyway, except I’ll be wearing a mask for most of them. I dunno, I guess I just enjoy my neighborhood and I’m putting a significant portion of my income into savings while still living here so why would I move?

        Yeah true. Usually in the fall/winter I would go to a big meetup once or twice a week, go out to a rave, get some coffee and chill at a coffeeshop, go on a random tinder date... I guess all things I'm thinking 90% won't be able to do this year.
