I thought it was obvious enough who/what response I was referring to. I guess not.

Anyway, I don't think this is too personal. Maybe it would be if everyone knew each other but we're all strangers here.
And OP, I'd love to answer your question, but sadly I don't live in NYC anymore :[

"All of you people" is pretty non-specific.

But whatever.

I think this is a pretty good thread, especially those new to the city, to gauge how much one should/could be paying in a roommate situation.

Then one more question that is crucial is:
Is the apartment rent-stabilized and what was the date of the initial lease?

Sometimes you can have a leaseholder who has been holding the apartment for years. If it's a 2 bedroom or 3 bedroom and they want roommates, they are not allowed to charge more than a fair amount (like 1/2 or 1/3) of their rent. If you are lucky and find a situation like this, your rent will not be market rate, since the long-time leaseholder is not paying market rate.
