You guys pay at least 1000-1500 a month for rent alone? That´s insane....how do you survive, buy food, clothes etc.
Are you all working at three different jobs or do you all just make tons of money ? Are the wages really that high that you can afford paying 1500 a month just for rent?

How hard is it gonna be for me (an Aussie) to LIVE and WORK in NYC?? I will apply for a Working Visa. Honestly I don't care if I'm a bum, I just wanna be where it's at!!! I'm gonna work my arse off until June next year to save enough cash to get my arse outta here. What neighbourhood would you recommend to live, keeping in mind the price range and the fact I'm a clueless foreigner? Where's cool to eat? How easy will it be to get a waitressing/cafe/bartender/shopkeeper job? I'm not looking to begin my career in NYC, I just want to experience something different and live a little for atleast a year. And I need a part-time job to support my habit (fun times). I was planning to register for the Green Card Lottery, but I think I'm too late. Bummer 
Share the love people Tell me how much y'all love NYC - is it the greatest city in the world??
I'm so bloody excited, I'm practically jumping out of my pants. Christina xx Vegas is the place to be! | |

It's getting pretty bad here. The rents keep going up with no end in sight and a lot of new buildings are condo only.
NYC will soon be for the very rich or the very poor. Either you have tons of $$$ and can live anywhere you want or you're poor enough to get gov assistance and a section 8 apartment. The middle class is being phased out here. Which is why I'm Miami bound  | |

I predict they will be rentals soon. "It's hard 4 me 2 say what's right when all I want to do is wrong..." | |

Do you know any, you know, INTERESTING places that are cheap? What about Hawaii, Miami, or any other part of Florida, or California, preferrably Southern California? I guess Cali is just as expensive as NY. " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |

Poland isn´t that bad...good beer ( Dog in the Fog ), great food, nice people, and one of my favorite directors is Roman Polanski...though he is more French then Polish these days.

Born & raised in NY, lived in various places across the country, including Los Angeles for well over a decade: Las Vegas is my absolute favorite place when I want to disappear and party like there's no tomorrow! I LOVE LAS VEGAS!!! (...but would be bored out of my mind after one week, lol - Seriously: I tried it, lol) So, what´s it like for a New Yorker to live in LA? And why did you leave LA? I mean, after a decade, one would think you got accustomed to it and can´t go back to cold winters and jampacked areas. Your post made me think of Woody Allen in his film Annie Hall...where he visits LA and is sooooo frustrated and constantly criticizes LA. And it reminded me of that one comic book where Spiderman goes to LA and has problems with his web there because the buildings aren´t high enough, so he can´t really swing from building to building. New Yorkers seem to be frustrated when in LA..
Melle Mel also moved to LA for a while. If I made it to LA, I´d probably never leave. " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |
