Housing is NOT that Expensive if you work in NYC......... (transplants, apartments)

[Timing2012]

You can live in Jersey City and commute to NYC.

Housing in Jersey City is not that bad at all.

I'm sure people have been doing that for decades by now.

Only people complaining about rent prices in NYC are those who feel a need to live in Manhattan (transplants). It makes me LOL every time I hear a transplant say "eww queens" when Manhattan is literally 20 mins away by LIRR.

[Timing2012]

Jersey City is only about 20 minutes away too and it's affortable, especially if you're making NYC wages.

If you think about it, DC is more expensive than NYC, because all surrounding suburbs/cities/towns around DC are very expensive too.

I may be forced to move to Jersey City soon...I'm going crazy not having a decent place to live of my own. It's ridiculous that I work full-time for the city yet cannot afford to live in it while at the same time ghetto trash can do nothing all day and get their own apartments and free food.

I would LOVE TO do this but I work for the city and my job requires me to be a NYC resident. Unfortunately.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Ask someone from HR.
