Eddie Rabon lives in my neighborhood - in a teeny-tiny 55-square-foot apartment which he pays $800 per month for - even in this economy. Welcome to Manhattan!! Hat tip to Joe.My.God.
Woh..I did not think it possible to rent a place smaller than Miss A's, but you could fit almost five of those in hers! and for 800 bucks? That's ridiculous...
Believe it or not, the price - although ridiculous for everywhere else - isn't outrageous by Manhattan Standards. In fact, I didn't think it was possible to find a studio for less than $1200/month anymore.
Hell, you can rent a 2 bedroom 1 bath house with a small fenced in yard for 700 a month halfway between Miss A and myself..something we're looking at for us and the dog and cat..
so exactly how much would a 400 sq. foot apt with its own bathroom cost in your area of NYC anyways???? mr. m beat me to the punch and for once i can say something IS smaller than my apartment!
I don't know how many square feet my roommate & I have (I'm clueless about that kind of stuff). But I do know we pay 3 times as much as MISS THANG does. But we also have more than 3 times the space.
And people wonder why I don't ever have any money.
It's so expensive to live in NYC! That really is small, but he's arranged it well. I can't live in such a small space but would enjoy living in a city for a while. I think my bathroom is larger than his apartment. My house payment for my 1700 sq ft house and large yard with a storage building and carport is a little over $600, but then I live in Dickson. So there you have it.
ok, my "small-town-ness" is going to roar its ugle head ont his one! DAMN. I can make a house payment for less than that and get 3 bdrms and 2 1/2 baths around here!!!
I think I would go freaking POSTAL in that small of a space...but like he said, having friends nearby helps...who actually have space to live in!
Good grief! Gorilla Boy's bedroom at home is 180 square feet!

ReplyDeleteApparently Miss Thang found it...
XOXOXOXOXO
Awww, he's so adorable...He seems happy, I'm starting to reconsider everything I think I "need".
ReplyDeleteI'm kinda impressed by how well he's organized so little space. It might drive me a little crazy, though.

wow.
This fascinates me! I love the creativity that is born out of sever confines. As our High Priestess Tim Gunn would say: "Make it work!"
