Who pays $5,000 a month for 500 square feet (Fulton, Russia: rentals, neighborhood)

[goofy328]

Just out of curiosity. Or is that disillusionment what I get for watching reality TV?

I'm sure there are people who do so, but I don't know any. Worst is my friend who pays $2300ish for a relatively large studio on Fulton St near the One World Trade Center, but he also has an elevator, doorman, balcony, etc. His elevator goes into a Russian bathhouse.

Yes I mean there are already 3500 studios in Brooklyn but I doubt anyone on these forums would pay that.

I know people who are paying $2300 for a share of a studio which is about $5k total. Pretty common.

I see. I'm just saying, whoever would is a nutcase. Paying the caveman $5000 a month to live anywhere is straight up crazy gtfoh. Couldn't be my life.

So does that mean that you're paying a premium to get into a "happening" trendy neighborhood in Brooklyn? I would think in Brooklyn you could get into an interesting neighborhood without paying that much.

Probably some dummy non-native new yorker from either the midwest or from some other country who thinks it's, "like totally cool, oh my god" to live in a place like that.
