Eh Rent in NYC, especially Manhattan, is so much higher than DC that even some higher food costs still outweigh.

You can get a 1BR for ~$2,200 in the center of DC. You can't find anything for less than $3,000 in NYC.

Lmao I pay 3500 here, could be warping my view I guess. Granted I’m in Capitol Hill and have a pretty big house, it could be a 2Br if I wanted it to be.

When I moved here this past summer everything at 2200 was one of those big corporate-type apartment buildings. Drawing a parallel between that and the priciest borough isn’t a good example imo
