RENT WHORES: How Much?

I only charge $40 an hour.

Where in New York? Doorman, no doorman? Elevator or wells up? That sounds petty low for a one bedroom in manhattan

Hahaha! $228.00/month. Large one bedroom. Elevator. Crown Heights, Brooklyn.

You sound poor, r3.

White people have ruined NYC

r4 Poor is a relative term. Because my rent is so cheap, I travel, eat out (Babbo on Thanksgiving), and go to concerts at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center whenever I want. I like to think of myself as comfortable.

[quote] White people have ruined NYC

Unless you’re Native American, STFU.

Newsflash: white people have been in New York prior to blacks, Hispanics and Asians.

Learn history moron.

$1107.85 for a 2BR in a doorman, elevator bldg in Hells kitchen. I will be leaving this apartment feet first in a body bag many many years from now.

$1,295 for an 800 sq ft 1bd with dining room. North side Chicago.

It’s aight for my husband and me.

About 15 years ago, I paid $1600 for a one bedroom on the UWS in NYC.

Then, my partner and I moved in together in a two bedroom in Brooklyn Heights for $2200.

After that we bought an apt on the UWS so hadn’t been keeping up with rents.

Nowadays, people seem to be paying $3000 or so for a one bedroom in Manhattan or the civilized parts of Brooklyn.

We looked on the internet for what our previous Brooklyn Heights apartment was going for. Apparently, the landlord converted into two apartments, charging $3000/month for each

[Quote] $1107.85 for a 2BR in a doorman, elevator bldg in Hells kitchen.

Must be rent controlled. Hang onto that place with every bone in your body!!

R6, but then you might be murdered going back to your apartment each night

R3, do you live in the ghetto?

R3 is letting taxpaying NYers pay the difference in the market rent because he is too lazy to work or feigning disability

2,000 weho 1 br. Not in the good part.

You know nothing r14.

Weho just as bad as Soho

5300 a 2bed 2bath in weho.

$1400 Manhattan West Village, 1BR, pre-war walkup, rent stab. Was a great starter apartment, but I'd like to move. Landlord has offered me $20,000 to move, but where would I go? Too poor to buy, don't want roommates. What's an eldergay to do?

I'm in West West WeHo (La Ciengia and Santa Monica Blvd area) on Alfred St. $1,500 for a 1 bedroom, great view, hardwood floors and top floor (750 square feet). Rent control and have been here 20plus years. Love the area and very blessed to have such a low price. Normally, they would go for around $3,000.

OK boomer R19

Me sucky sucky! Me love you long time!

$875 one bedroom apartment, Houston, Montrose neighborhood, surrounded by multi-million dollar homes.

$1,200 Palm Springs two-bedroom with ginormous patio, and nice pool.

$2975, top floor 1 BR 740 sq ft. apt with wrap around balcony. San Diego.

I'm moving out end of March. It's a gorgeous place, but I can't justify it anymore.

White people cant seem to grasp the issue with paying $3000 a month for a 1 bedroom. That’s insane. I can’t understand the mentality and I can afford it! It’s nuts to me. Signs of white privileged lives and everything handed to them.

R26 is an open racist

Racist? No. Just sick of white people destroying cities.

$1095 for 1000 sq foot 1 br + den in downtown Denver. It was $750 when I moved in 21 years ago.

R28 wow you’re limited. While people were there before blacks and spics

R30 spics?! Really???

Whites were here because they invaded and MURDERED, RAPED AND STOLE from others. Nothing to be proud of

R31 no shit. But they still been in New York before blacks and Hispanics did.

And if the poster above is gonna go off on his anti white racism I’ll say “spic” as much as I like. And I’m not even white

Ps race wasn’t even part of this thread Until someone started with his usual “whites ruined nyc” bullshit.

[quote][R6], but then you might be murdered going back to your apartment each night

Well at least he’s not being robbed once a month.

Lmaoooo but you took it to the next level dumbass. No slurs were used for white trash.

$1300 for a one bedroom in Valley Village behind Debbie Reynolds old home. Moved in 31 years ago it was $630. When they carry me out it goes to $2500.00 a month.

Blacks can’t seem to grasp that white people don’t want to live like animals in violent, crime-infested ghetto neighborhoods.

The DMV (DC area) is just as bad.

Seattle, Lower Queen Anne - walking distance from the Space Needle. I own my flat, including homeowner's dues, it's just over 1K monthly. The rents in my building stagger me! A studio that' s really uncomfortable for more than one person at a time rents for $1045 monthly. It's insane! My parking place is a separate deeded property and is worth something like 15K - more than my parents paid for their first house in Hicksville, NY, in 1962.

My building is down the street from Amazon, and is also in a location where the two main North/South arterials I-5 and I-99 are close together. The Puget Sound region is shaped like an hourglass, Seattle being in the middle, so there's not lots of room to construct any more major roads. Thank Christ I gave my car up in 2015. Driving in Seattle is a fucking nightmare. They should provide free port-a-caths to drivers and have infusion kiosks providing .5 mg lorazepam at every corner.

Seattle has no rent control, wh. I find to be hideous. I hear so many stories of people being priced out of their apartments by venal landlords. Yet it seems to be undergoing a tremendous growth spurt. Construction cranes everywhere. I understand that the climate i.e. lack of extreme winters and summers, is a big draw. But having to commute anywhere is truly a fucking nightmare.

r36 then do not come to NYC cracker! You do not own shit motherfucker. Stay where the fuck you come from FAGGOT

$2,100 1,200 sq. ft on the 20th floor in Portland, Oregon.

$1325, a studio in Long Island City, Queens.

[quote] $1400 Manhattan West Village, 1BR, pre-war walkup, rent stab. Was a great starter apartment, but I'd like to move.

Why do you want to move, R19?

$750 for a four bedroom house with three baths, basement rec room, dining room, 1/2 acre yard in Mayberry, RFD

about 950 a month for a room in a 3bdrm/2bath house in Sonoma County (includes utilities). Way below market because i'm living with my best friend. If i have to go up to 1500 a month (without utilities) it may be a problem.

i should clarify i'm renting a room, not the entire house.

R44 Where in Sonoma Co. specifically? I lived in the town of Sonoma for 25 years. Rent was fairly low way back when, but never that low for that much house. Does your friend own the place or something? Good luck finding anything under 1900 for a 2 bedroom 1 bath, no utilities, and that would be in a shitty area.

$799.00 for an elevator/doorman 540 sq. ft. one bedroom in Hell's Kitchen.

I too will leave horizontal many, many years from now!

$1,750 for 1BR in West Harlem, elevator/well-kept building two blocks from subway.

Seattle: $2,800 for a 2-bed / 1-bath 1,500sf house with a mountain and water view.

$8,000per month. 3bed, 3.5 baths. Elevator and doorman. Seattle.Elliot Bay Towers on the counterbalance. Pets allowed (dammit).

R48 ummmm why are you in Harlem?

Fortunately Harlem is gentrifying.

No. That is historically a black area. Why are you invading their spaces?

$5800.00 1450sf 3bed/2bath high rise Chicago Gold Coast

[quote] historically a black area.

It was Italian and Jewish in the 1880s. Before that, Dutch.

Yes. But since the early 1900s it was mainly black. Who cares about 200 years ago. For 100 recent it was black.

QUIT INVADING THEIR FUCKING SPACES.

After reading r36 comment you have no fucking business being white and moving into black areas. Read that disgusting comment.

[quote]But since the early 1900s it was mainly black.

No. Not true. 1920s. Learn your history. It was more white than black in it's history. Times change. Deal with it.

Again. The most recent 100 years. Keep out of their areas.

Whites don’t wanna live in “black” areas and don’t want black people in their areas yet they are quick to move to historic black areas. Get the fuck out of here with that psycho hypocrite shit.

I'm black.

R61 if so, good.

"Their" areas? Are you promoting segregation?

R36 is. If that is the case keep out of black peoples spaces. Period.

Well, this was informative and interesting (and in some cases envy-inducing) until it all went to shit. ABANDON THREAD!

It was informative and interesting until a black person had to bring up the issue of race and start making anti-white comments, like they do during every discussion of any topic.

wtf is this? A coast on that ugly lake? The Gold Coast is the white beaches of Queensland, not some spazzy stretch of Chicago mud.

' If that is the case keep out of black peoples spaces. Period.'

Ayyyyyyyye. Manhattan be called MANHATTAN for a reason, boi. It's a Native American name. One big tribe called the Spzi living on Manhattan until the WHITE QUEENS came.

2.1K in "nicer" part of hollywood for 2br 1K sf duplex, partly cuz I'm handy w/repairs & rarely contact landlord. This won't last long given single family homes are rapidly being demolished & replaced w/multi-storied box condos, unless an economic/RE downturn occurs in 2020.

WHY DOES EVERY FUKING THREAD ON DL DEGENERATE INTO A BLOODY RACE WAR?

How can the 99% afford these places? Eventually we are going to run out of people who can afford these prices and the apartment will sit empty.

$1,700 a month for an oversized one-bedroom in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn. Hardwood floors. Eat in kitchen. My bedroom alone is the size of a studio apartment. It's a prewar elevator building. Rent stabilized. 6-minute walk from the subway.

My partner and I lucked out. This building, while beautiful, has seen some rough times. New management is bringing it back to life however. . Yeah, it's a little far out (25 minutes to Canal Street)...but we love this neighborhood. It's gorgeous with huge houses and it is truly truly diverse (black, white, gay, trans, middle eastern, latino, etc).

As someone else said, we will be leaving this place in a pine box.

R47 - “I too will leave horizontal, many, many years from now.”

Don’t be so sure. My 52 year old neighbor died suddenly last week, no signs or symptoms. He collapsed after a jog and never awakened. You may leave horizontal, but it will most likely be sooner rather than later!

How did you New Yorkers with rent stab or control get those apartments?

R81 - sounds wonderful except for trans living in your neighborhood. I would have to move.

For those claiming high rents are a white thing BS. Everyone pays the same high rents in NYC. Also slavery existing in Africa before Americans bought slaves. How do you think they heard of slavery. It still exists today as does mass genocide. Why do you think so many Africans are fleeing as illegal immigrants to Europe! Not saying what our ancestors did was right but don’t act like it was Invented and solely executed by whites.

Oy gavalt. Block and FF the race baiters. Save your venom for the landlord.

Oops.

Same position R19 - though my rent is even less. It is weird to me that the landlords offer such small amounts. He could make $100,000 back in 3 years by charging market rates if he got rid of me. It’s stupid for me to take $20,000 - won’t even cover one years rent.

Rent controlled apartments are golden handcuffs. It has kept me in NYC for 30 years - without it I may have moved somewhere else and tried a different way of living. It also didn’t make sense to buy an apartment - which if I had done so 25 years ago, would have allowed me to cash out and retire comfortably.

TLDR: I win. I have every gay guys dream apartment. I fuck the hot Latino super for free rent. Uptown, I have a 4br, 2bath, private courtyard, storage, cable, electric, water included. However, I did have to marry him.

I could be considered an expert witness for this thread. I'm an eldergay who looks like a republican from Connecticut or cop depending on my outfit and my husband is brown-skinned with indigenous features. I had a corporate consulting job for 20 years and I worked for over 30 Fortune 500 companies. After 20 years of travelling all over and dating doctors, lawyers and Indian chief- engineers I fell in love with the super. I married him and we've been managing proprieties in Northern Manhattan and the Bronx for 15 years. I've seen every side of gentrification and racial/gender inequality that a white guy can see and I could argue both sides convincingly.

R80, you should take an economics class. The “sitting empty” thing is only an issue for eight figure properties owned by rich individuals (not landlords). With commercial properties it’s more of an issue, but usually not a huge problem.

My white dad lived in Harlem in the 1950’s. I think Park Avenue, but north of where the metro north trains start being above ground (so maybe around 115th?). I doubt he was the only white guy.

^In my 20 yrs of consulting/training thousands, I only met 3 African- American, female executives and only about 50 supervisors or managers, a few hundred AA men and the rest WP, mostly men. Even though I was witness to hundreds of racist actions by corp. white people, I didn't believe, as I do now, that white-supremacy is at the core belief system of the 1 percent,

You can't blame white people today for playing by rules they didn't make and white people can not deny that we have been and continue to have options and advantages that African Americans don't have.

Oh, for the racists, you're brainwashed, there are frauds and cheats everywhere in life, but "House Rules" are the 1pct's. They're screwing you and telling you to blame brown people.

1725 in Woodside Queens. 1br in a well maintained elevator building but kind of a schlep to the train. It's a rent controlled for middle income earners, but not Mitchell Lama. It's the first place I've lived in that had a dishwasher and the walls are thick.

[quote] No. That is historically a black area. Why are you invading their spaces?

Replace “black” with “white” and all of a sudden it’s racist? You’re a racist asshole. People can move wherever they want. It’s not “invading”

When you historically kept black people from getting good jobs and from living in your areas, yes, it is invading THEIR areas.

And by the laws of logic, when they get good jobs and move into white areas they are “invading” those.

You can’t have it both ways asshole

No sweetie. Many move into DIVERSE areas.

R95 take your own advice. Quit projecting.

R26 R28 Silicon Valley - one bedrooms in very modest buildings going for $3500 a month. By and large Asians and South Asians in the tech industry paying whatever is asked for. While white patriarchy and privilege is a real and oppressive thing, I think the problem is really class and economics, more than race.

Whites don’t “invade” neighborhoods. They improve, update, and raise values. They drive out crime, drugs, and unseemly activity. What in the world could anyone find wrong with that? If rents are higher, so be it.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME R99????? This is why everyone hates White men now.

Except if they look like Nick Topel. Or Sam Hunt. Or Kirk Cameron.

r89 what are indigenous features?

My first apartment was only $150.00/month. When people on DL discuss their rents, I get dizzy.

r99 literally just boasted about institutionalized and systematic racism and believes it is a good thing. And then white men wonder why the world is turning on them.

R103 - you probably “get dizzy” when you get up off the sofa.

Hey Israel and Palestine! You're never going to solve this. Go take it somewhere else so that us peaceful people can discuss our rents. If you live near each other you can have a summit.

R103 R105 My first apartment was $60 a month - split the rent of a converted greenhouse in back of an old Victorian in Venice CA. Do I win? Nurse... nurse.. my meds?

R107 - you may have lived in the world’s very first AirBnB!

[quote]$1400 Manhattan West Village, 1BR, pre-war walkup, rent stab. Was a great starter apartment, but I'd like to move.

Because I've been in this apartment for 25 years and I'd like some different scenery.

[quote]historically a black area.

[quote]It was Italian and Jewish in the 1880s. Before that, Dutch.

By white Irish grandmother was born in Harlem in 1911. A lot of Irish lived in the area, along with Italians and Jews. The blacks moved in later.

Irish, Italian, Jewish...it was probably very nice back then. Peaceful, clean.

$2000/month for a 1000 sf loft in DTLA. It has a 200 sf balcony and the price includes parking.

Irish Italians and Jews weren’t considered white in the USA in 1911.

Dear God - can we talk about rent not race.

Im surprised how most people are paying less than $3,000 - which is the going rate for a 1BR apartment In the major cities -NyC, SF and even LA now. I guess I’m so used to everyone paying $3,000+ to live in mediocre apartments, it’s good to remember not everyone is as rich as my new neighbors.

$3k a month ($36k a year) for a 1 bedroom is RIDICULOUS. Seriously, I am starting to see what the poster going on about White people is talking about. And I am white.

But that’s much.

$2100/month, The Woodlands, Texas, 750 sq ft, 1 bd/1ba, 6th floor, balcony overlooking Lake Woodlands, plus $100/month for 2 storage units on premises.

I live in SF for nearly 34 years. My first place, a large wonderful studio apartment in the Western Addition was $400/month when I moved in, $425 by the time I left. Moved to a 2BR railroad flat in the heroin zone of the Mission for $750 a month, went up to $1100 a month by the time I was Ellis Act evicted 18 years later. I always lived with a roommate there, took the smaller bedroom and had the sunroom behind the kitchen for my art space. The roommate got the larger room and the garage spot for their car, if they wanted it. I paid about $425/month in rent the whole time I lived there because we went through all the dotcom booms and housing costs just steadily headed toward Mars. Everyone who moved in felt they were getting a great deal paying the majority of the rent for the flat. When I was forced to move out in 2006, I wanted to stay in the Mission, but the whole area was well gentrified and apartments were prohibitively expensive and snapped up by techies no matter what the cost.

I ended up scoring a third floor walk up 1 bedroom with views to Golden Gate Park, the Pacific Ocean, Seal Rock, the hills of Marin, on a great clear day, the Farallon Islands (32+ miles away), and the steeples of St Ignatius Church. This place has no extras: no parking, storage, laundry, dishwasher, garbage disposal. Someone was breaking the lease and with excellent detective skills, I was able to secure the apartment at the same rate they were paying, $1100 a month, now $1275 after 13 years. This was an incredible and miraculous occurrence and my rent is the envy of many. My landlord is an old guy and I hope he never dies, because I dunno what will happen then. He said something to me recently about leaving papers for the oven he just replaced in a drawer for the next tenant if I ever move. I told him, "George, I am never moving. I am saving up right now for one of those bucket chairs to carry me and my groceries up the stairs when I can't walk them any more." He laughed. But I am serious.

R117 $1275 anywhere in SF, let alone near USF, it nuts. You really did receive a miracle.

R118---For real. It was a big jump in rent but to be able to live by myself in an adequate amount of space so far below the going rate was the luckiest good luck.

^Being ALIVE in SF for 34 years, is a miracle. Nice to see you r117

Thank God for rent control. As can be seen on this thread, it is the only thing that allows us eldergays to stay in our homes where we’ve lived for 30+ years. We deserve them.

Do you ever seen the sun R17?

I’m a white boy and was going to buy a place in Harlem because the condo was huge and affordable. It was on the west side in the 110s. The area is rapidly gentrifying, but I got a lot of side eye from the blacks in the neighborhood when I was checking it out.

I moved to a ”white” neighborhood instead. There are whites, blacks, Hispanics and Asians, but everyone under 60 is a hipster, regardless of race. We all get along fine. It’s not about race/racism. It’s about respect and understanding.

R123 - dont care about your race. The question is much is your rent?

I don’t pay rent anymore.

I'm genuinely surprised at how "cheap" NYC is from these posters. I'm sure some are rent controlled, but I would have thought 2K for a one bedroom to be an oddity. Doesn't sound like it.

Ditto R126. Though if you look at “averages” for the city as a whole, it’s not crazy. West Village/Chelsea may be $3,000+ but Washington Heights, Bushwick, even Far Upper East Side are much cheaper. Much better than SF because it’s so much bigger with so many more apartments.

500 detached huge...i mean huge yard. 20 minutes from up and coming area. huge yard...really i may start a nursery.

Too many phone goats in Harlem.

really i may start a nursery.

Children will need a huge yard to play in. Just make sure you keep your license up to date and don't hire any pedos.
