Show HN: I made a game to show how bad the NYC rental market is
- jppope 2y agothat was super fun! I wouldn't live in manhattan of course, but still interesting to play
- paxys 2y agoShowing a 1 bedroom apartment in Manhattan for $2950 as your first example isn't really making your case. My first thought was - send me the link!
- upon_drumhead 2y agoIt's unclear, but they do link the postings after you're done, unfortunately it's been rented today https://streeteasy.com/building/62-west-48-street-new_york/5f https://streeteasy.com/building/62-west-48-street-new_york/5...
- giulioco 2y agoYeah fair it's honestly more for fun that anything else so I actually put realistic data from all over the spectrum - the listings are updated every day do and some are wildly expensive
- handfuloflight 2y agoI think it should show more than 1 image.
- AdamJacobMuller 2y agoAgreed. At least it should start to show you more after you make a few guesses wrong. The one in Lenox hill, even 5BR5BA I was off by way more than half and thought the final rent was absurd until I saw all the pictures.
- giulioco 2y agoWait what? Unless there's a bug it should show more after the first hint. Hints go like this: 1. First pic + BR/baths count 2. Rest of the pics 3. Neighborhood 4. Special features
- handfuloflight 2y agoIt's working now but it wasn't before.

- gedy 2y agoI like New York, but I just can't fathom spending $89000/year on rent with what looks to be a uninteresting and not fancy apartment. That $250 a day could be a lot more fun elsewhere around the country and world...
- OutOfHere 2y agoIt is not reasonable for any working person to spend more than 4000 per month in rent for one person, as one can retire elsewhere in the state or country with that amount.
