I've heard stories about Manhattan studio apartments that aren't much bigger than closets renting for more than $2,000.
So where do all those people live who make minimum wage or not much more?
They do have Walmarts and McDonald's in NYC, right? Do they live ten to a bedroom?
You know, I've wondered this myself. My guess is either student housing (for college kids), government housing, or they have lots of roomates splitting costs.

I'm guessing they commute in from out of the area. The rent is probably a lot cheaper in New Jersey.

no, no walmarts. that is why nyc is cool... no walmarts in chicago or san francisco either... mcdonalds, yes definitely. well I think Chicago might have got one...there is pretty big opposition to stores like these in cities such as nyc.

Yes, yes, and yes. Or the street and on benches in Central Park :-).
You will not believe the kinds of things people rent in NYC. You will literally see ads to rent out large closets. Some places will have 6-7 people sharing an apartment.
