I can't afford to live in Beverly Hills or in the Hamptons, you don't see me crying that I can't live there even though it would be a beautiful place to live. I look for a cheaper place to live...very simple.


You say you are educated right? Well, are ALL your friends and family who you refer to in your post educated as well? Very single one?

Firstly, I'm not crying.

Secondly, I am educated and so is my family.

Thirdly, Harlem is a beautiful, historical neighborhood, I think I could desire to live there if I want to.

Yeah, but I don't know where as yet. it's so much to consider. The convenience of NY is great as I'm sure anyone on this board would agree but it's pretty costly.

if anyone has suggestions on how they survive the cost of living here, I can reconsider moving.

Of coarse you can live in Harlem and have a desire to live there but do you financially qualified to live there? If not, then Harlem isn't for you regardless how historical the neighborhoods are. Find something cheaper. That's my point.

Financially qualify as in if you don't make enough money to afford a Harlem apartment, then look elsewhere.

183rd by the 4 train is the worst IMO. I never tought 170 and Jerome to be that bad. Maybe a few blocks off it. But really all those stops by Jerome are pretty bad. Even Bedford Park has some sketchyness to it.

Other areas I seen, just today, that look rough are W Burnside ave from Sedgwick to University.

Also I saw alot of thugs on 176th and Cedar.

Thats the Bronx in a nutshell. You have so many bad intersections, that you just end up calling an entire area bad. You could name a bad block in Mott Haven, one just as bad in Soundview, another bad in East Tremont, or go west to Morris Heights, etc etc.....too much poverty in the neighborhoods.

And thats because landlords allow anyone with a section 8 voucher that pays top dollar for a sh*tty apartment to move in. You can be a crack head, it doesn't matter. As long as you have that voucher, thats good money for the landlord. To him, thats guaranteed money. Landlords like that give good landlords a bad name. Sad.
