    There are one bedrooms and studios for < $2k in brooklyn. They might not be fancy, but they exist.

    That might be more than other places, but you have to factor in you don’t need a car here. So that’s $10k/year saved (though I think it’s about $2k/year if you max out your transit rides before they become free every week).

    You’d have to pay me a shit load of money for me to consider living somewhere that isn’t walkable.

      Walkability is nice.

      I’m fortunate to live in a part of Kansas City that’s eminently walkable, and when the streetcar expansion is finished in a year and a half, I’ll be a block away from it, but the regional transit here in this city has always been very good. We’ve had a high-speed bus line through the main corridor of the city for almost 20 years now.

      The bigger plus is that public transit here is fare-free.
