Crawlspace bedroom
This has got to be one of the most depressing stories of living in New York that we’ve ever read. In two sentences, this guy explains just how terrible his friend’s living situation was. If you ever plan on moving to New York, just know that rent isn’t cheap. In fact, you might be forced to rent a basement crawlspace.
As if living in a claustrophobia-inducing room wasn’t bad enough, this guy had to shell out $700 every month to sleep in a room where he couldn’t even stand. And that was ten freaking years ago! Taking inflation into account, can you imagine how much it must cost now today?!
