- Terr_ 3y agoHey, if you're not willing to put in the effort of becoming the National Median Renter, then why would you expect the same outcome? :P From the deeper-source: > In contrast, rents in populous northeastern metros such as New York, NY (6.8%), Pittsburgh, PA (3.8%), and Boston, MA (3.3%) continued to experience faster growth.

- kadomony 3y agoYeah.. This was a "bucket list" move. Honestly dumb in hindsight to experience post-pandemic NYC for a single year. Even in its prime, I doubt this city is worth it to the person who's not constantly going out, networking, and seeking everything out.
- rcme 3y agoThe city is good if you’re a young professional looking to live near work so that you can basically live at the office.
- sneak 3y agoI was just in NYC for the first time post-pandemic (I used to live there) and it was astounding to me how much COVID has cratered that town. I really hope it comes back; New York was the first metropolis I truly loved.
- kadomony 3y agoI don't see it making a comeback. The pandemic accelerated greediness across the board. The people here are exploited way worse now in all ways because people just decided everything could be charged more for, even after supply chains regrouped. This town makes high earners feel poor. I can't imagine what the people scraping by endure.
- sneak 3y agoThis same complaint could be levied against NYC for the last 150 years, methinks. The tenement museum on the LES stands in contrast to your "people here are exploited way worse now in all ways". It's not like NYC people are suddenly more materialistic and greedy. It's been an incubator for that behavior for generations.
