Reply to comment by 101ina45 in Manhattan rents hit an all-time high in January by WarrenBuffetsDriver

You can have a mortgage on a house in Queens for that price. My mortgage is like 2k lol. And yeah Queens is part of the city I can get to Manhattan in an hour.

There are coops in queens for like 200k which is only 5 years of 4k a month rents.

You're right. With that said, not everyone is willing to stomach an hour commute to Manhattan.

Personally I would rather do that than move to Ohio or some BS, but don't think that's true for everyone.

It’s increasingly more common to have a job in the outer boroughs and live in the outer boroughs. So living in eastern queens isn’t the commute death sentence that it used to be for more and more people. Agree that the 1 hour commute would suck. But hey is it worth a 2k+ premium in rent? That’s for each to their own to decide.
