    Nice Video, but Brooklyn is no longer just this grungy hipster place that everyone is making it out to be. They have high rise apartments rival Manhattan in terms of design and a lot of them that are just as expensive if not more. It is rapidly becoming an extension of Manhattan, pushing people further and further to the back of the borough.

    • @kc3074

    Having lived in Brooklyn my entire life (save the longest year of my life in Staten island), most folks (seemingly) think of the BK as "hipster" but you can find any kind of neighborhood in Brooklyn... from "old money" in Brooklyn Heights to straight 'hood in Brownsville to a flashback to Saturday NIght Fever in Bensonhurst... including a neighborhood for every ethnicity!

      As a native New Yorker (also an Italian-American) who naturally has that accent, I laugh at your comment. Sorry to say that it was an awful impression. And... there's a lot of these videos on RUclips where people are explaining things about New York. None of the people in the videos I've seen are native New Yorkers. Usual story: someone moves to NYC from Kansas or whatever, lives in the city for a year and then claims to be an expert. I wish you people could've seen NYC in the seventies and eighties with all the hookers, junkies and gangs in Times Square. You'd all run home.

    I've read that Park Slope is even more expensive than Manhattan. South Bronx has started to gentrify so you may find more affordable property there. It's the greenest borough and the only borough with an intro "The" Bronx.

If you're rent is 2000 a month yearly 24,000, your income should be atleast 60,000-80,000 as your rent alone would be 1/3, 1/4. Factor in student debt, car payments, bills etc. you see why only when you're making a lot money can you true live comfortably. I'm not here to shit on rich people or people who do have a lot of money but its ridiculous that people think it must be a dream living here when in reality if you're not upperclass its a nightmare. In the end, you will always worry about rent, bills, debt and so on, take my word it aint worth it.
