    Thanks for watching! I forgot to mention in the video but Alaina told me she does not plan to renew her lease. It’s a 1 year fun experience to see what tiny living is like in NYC. I personally think that’s one of the reasons it’s so fun to live here. You can hop around between neighborhoods and try out new living situations all the time!

      welcome to liberal NYC. Only going to get worse as the new zoning law will allow people to rent their garages to people or even sheds. And yes that's true. That's the NYC Mayor (who just got in trouble) team/task force that pushed it. And no I'm not a Republican either. I don't vote for either side. Both trashy but this is Democrat NYC everyone seems to love and watch fall.

      Yes I know someone that died in a fire, they worked as a camera man for the NFL and made really good money. He suffered third degree burns all over his body and survived for weeks in the hospital until his heart gave out from the pain. The worse way to die you could ever imagine.

    This is why NYC housing prices will never go down. The demand to able to sleep anywhere in this city is too extreme. Most people work all day or go out all day while spending little time at home, so they wouldn't mind this as a temporary living space. Still, I feel claustrophobic just from watching this video.

      I agree. Over 20 years ago I worked in NYC, commuting from my, at the time, huge two-bedroom apartment in New Jersey (which had a ton of closet space, as well as a kitchen, and a living room). A co-worker was going away to Florida, with his wife, and invited me to stay at his tiny NYC apartment and watch his cats. I thought it would be the greatest experience ever, working, playing and living in NYC for a month. ...Sadly, I wasn't cut out for it. The apartment was so small, it depressed me. Now I live in a house, and feel maybe it's too big, even though it's a small house. Everyone is different and you have to find that sweet spot of what works for you. She seems happy, and it's decorated beautifully.

      Housing normally goes up over time. If it's on a downward trend for a long time, that's really bad for that location.... 🙂
      A large living space in NYC is pretty much always going to be more expensive than most other places in the world simply because NYC is a desirable place to live. 🙂

      I grew up in Silicon Valley and still live there, and $650 would be a low price here as well, but she gets a low price because it's a small space. I don't see a problem, NYC and SV are both very desirable and great places to live.
      I would rather pay $1000 for half of a living room in a 1 BR apartment, which is what I do, than pay $1000 for a mortgage on a five bedroom house but have to pay the Red State Tax of having maga neighbors.
      NYC = desirable

      In the first place, she says in the video that she works from home 3 to 4 days a week. Then she says on the days that she has to go in to work, she takes the dog to doggy daycare. As long as she’s taking the dog for lots of nice long walks, there’s really no reason why she shouldn’t have one. Now, if she went off to work every day and left the dog cramped up in that apartment alone, it would be different.

    the fact that there is no window is a huge deal breaker. not only is that a huge safety concern (mainly fire hazard), but I think I’d legitimately go insane. and the fact that there’s like a 3 foot gap between the bed and the ceiling makes me anxious and claustrophobic just watching this video. otherwise, I think it’s actually a pretty solid spot for the price and location. I do agree with her in that when I lived in NYC from 2014-2015, I realized that I really didn’t need much in terms of living space. props to her for making it work.

      i just finished building myself a loft bed, with an underside desk area. I made it as tall as possible at first so i could cut it down once i could feel what the spaces felt like on top and bottom. The top was pretty much what she had here.
      It didn't feel too bad, i could lay on my side and have a fist size gap to the ceiling, Though for her bed it seems more cluttered and closed in, but mines a big double bed with no clutter and good lighting, completely open on two sides with the foot end getting a view of the rest of the room, and out of a window. So hers definitely looks like it feels more cramped, dark, closed in on all sides, but if its cosy then a space that small can work for some people. I could have probably lived with it being that high, but the underside was needlessly roomy, so i cut it down an extra 15cm so both sides have a good middle ground.

      @@OhhGeeskii I didn’t build the house I just bought. I said the second one was built in 2005. I purchased it in 2017.
      Go back and look at rental property costs in New York City for those years. You do realize that costs rise and fall country-wide, correct? My home in 2005 would’ve still been comparable to the cost of homes in New York in 2005. It just would’ve been far, far cheaper than anything in New York. Same as today.
      If it makes you feel better, I looked into a cash-out refinance option for my home last week. I opted out, but the payment to refinance and borrow $25,000 to make upgrades would’ve put me at $770 a month. So there’s your “today” payment.

      Not in NY. People will pay anything just to live in a lil shoebox, like this woman. But rent is not the problem in NY, just the crazy taxes n living expenses are. Taxes have become unbearable so landlords are raising the rents to even higher prices. Bad policies in NY has made everything terrible, though I blame the politicians n not the landlords who are just trying to get by too.

      That's a great idea, but there's the issue that this is the only thing some people can afford. It'd basically just be removing the only place some people can reasonably live except for a cardboard box. If people having a decent life is the goal, you want to change minimum wage, housing, and tax laws.

You probably have something equally valuable in your mental makeup. I imagine she's probably really obtuse in lots of ways and that enables her to do it.
