> I remember meeting an old artist at college who had gone to NYC for training in his youth. He explained how such an adventure was impossible nowadays, because it's just not possible to afford living in NYC as a young person without money.
Nowadays, there are plenty other affordable places to train. It's not NYC or nothing.
- ProllyInfamous 3y agoFor several years around 2010, I lived in the SF Bay Area for ~$1200/month. I had a (now long-lost) friend near Dolores Park, who maintained a rent-controlled 3 bedroom for $1200/month, which he then subletted the other two rooms. Sometimes, I wonder if he's still there =P So much happier to not be that impoverished, but I had a great time wheelin' & dealin' the /bayarea.
- silent_cal 3y agoYes that's true, I was moreso trying to make a point about how much the cost of living has changed in general.
