23. "ues has some of the lousiest housing stock in the city though" In response to In response to 6 Wed Jul-08-15 12:33 PM by ndibs
(outside of the where the ultra rich live). i've seen a lot of them. tiny cramped apartments with rooms you can barely turn around in, slanted floors and views of alleys. hallways look lke typical hallways from rundown bronx and brooklyn apt buildings and often don't smell much better. they are what they are and that's tenement.
you're not getting nice housing at those prices. brooklyn has some beautiful spaces,beautiful architecture and places to go and things to do for young people. there are actual reasons the rents are higher.
