That's a little misleading. The NY apartment is actually 6k per month ($1500.00 is only his share). I would love to see what a real $1500.00 apartment in NYC looks like...oh wait...there isn't one.
I would love to see a 6k apartment in houston
Crabby Piper it’s in an abandoned storage facility. Sorry there’s no stove!
Aishoo 1234
isnt that where you live?
The title said 1500 rent. It did not say apt. Lol..we assumed what it would be.
T. Monet based on the fact that every other episode showed a whole apartment worth the amount quoted. This is still
Misleading no matter what you want to say.
1500 dollars to share a room in nyc. Give me a break.
Was that per week or month because why did it say 6000 total? Oh my bad probably becuas e4 people
1,500 is considered cheap over here 😭
@@casey9559 the rent was 1500 per person, he was living with 3 other people witch totaled to 6000 in rent
Jaelon Clouser imagine if somebody moved out
A VERLEY it’s because he lives in the city I whole 1 bedroom in The Bronx for 1300
Now lets see, a houston apt for 6,000.
Kelvin T Garcia acevedo good luck finding an apartment in Houston that’s $6,000 😂
You can rent a full floor for that kind of money, I'm not even kidding that's the going rate for a lower valley full floor apartment, add another two grand and you can get a down town full floor.
One Park Place. Check that out
Camaroni1000 you could try the aris or the market square tower. Hannover
That would be a high rise condo in Houston.
Key word at the end the Houston girl says “live stress free”... meanwhile Dilip is aging fast and living with his college roomies at 40
I guess you have to put that in perspective... NYC is known all around the world... NYC is still less expensive than Hong-kong... but I admit anyway that prices are crazy...
Patrice Gallini Does anyone actually enjoy living in Hong Kong.
@@nemesiszer0708 Well I'm sure they did until a few days ago lmao
Evan Oh yeah with the new law I would never live there, can’t keep my mouth shut I guess. But even outside of that Hong Kong is crazy expensive to live in.
Yea but it’s Houston
So moral of the story- New York is for visiting, not living LOL
Shantrell Young but when your born here its a lituation.
Los Angeles the best place
@@oknadboksieovdw7296 debatable
I’m from here and trust me your right
Trust me it’s worth it having grown up here
So... Nobody else is going to point out that the NYC apt is actually 6000/month for a 4-bedroom? Just because you can say it's split 1500/month per person doesn't make that apartment a viable comparison to a 1500/month 1-bedroom in Houston.
Denkou Masato if we were comparing $6k apartments 4 bed rooms in Houston it would be a mansion compared to nyc
1500 might not even get you a 1BR in nyc lol (maybe outside of manhattan). That's kinda the point I think, just comparing on price tag how far will your money get you?
The comparison was what you get for $1500/month. In NYC it means you get roommates.
Exactly, but at least it would be an accurate comparison of what $6000 can get you in one city compared to another. Not this "$1000 can get you this in one city, but $1000 (+3 other friends paying that much) can get you THIS! It's a straight comparison!"
6K a month in Houston will get you a suite the size of the entire floor in NYC...
Love that I’m from Australia paying $1500 for my 3 bedroom/2 bathroom house working at the supermarket packing groceries earning 50k a year. Life’s good 🇦🇺
Colin we got that here in Houston Texas too
As a Texan from Dallas, I agree life is good.
@@diegogamarra2928 I'm from Houston too....what supermarket pays you 50k to pack groceries?
Australia has the big steroid bugs and a lot of wildlife I’m Gucci!! 👌🏽
Australia is just British Texas
Noone:
Literally everyone who shows off their bedroom:This is where the magic happens!
I think the only magic happening in that guys room involves two guys with small poles.
Go to Mexico, it is even more affordable. The poorer a place, the cheaper it is - RULE OF THUMB.
@@halfvolley11 so Houston is poor 😮
@@ptybuay507 Compared to New York City, yes it is - check GDP numbers for proof!!
@@ptybuay507 definitely not poor . Houston alone is beigger than New York the state itself
I wish they would have shown an actual $1,500 NYC apartment, not a $6,000 one that 4 people share🤦🏽 Because in reality you'd be lucky if you were in the projects, or a basement for $1,500...
I don’t think they can even find an apartment for $1500 in nyc most are at least $2500+
Could not agree more. This guy is paying 1500 to live with 4 men, while she has her own place with twice the space. Not even comparable.
Cat Som You're right. I'm from NYC and there is nothing under $2,000 no matter where you're at.
mine is $1380 for a 3 bedroom
not for me
Should’ve showed an ACTUAL 1500 a month apartment. His is basically $6000 a month (which is still ridiculous)
He probably moved into it awhile back (NYC has rent control).
no, his portion of it is $1,500. he shares it with his roommates ($1,500 each). the girl from houston pays $1,500 by herself. tbh, you probably can't get an apartment for $1,500 in NYC. it's damn near impossible in boston and NYC is just worse.
Kristina Milani 1500 dollars in nyc does not exist... except somewhere lost in new york
Alexis you can get a one bedroom in Jamaica basically the hood for 1500 or the projects
You cant get an apartment in New York for 1,500.
There are decent sized 1500 apartments in NYC but what ppl fail to realize is that everyone wants to live in Manhattan which is the problem. You dont have to live in Manhattan to be in the NYC. There are four other boroughs
sashandify they are moving to Brooklyn and Queens, and the rent prices are skyrocketing
yea that is why i don't particularly care for stories like this. it's pretty false. most transplants live like this . a few do it for a year then move somewhere else. but they come to new york for the experience. they had to have made good money but live there instead of the boroughs.
Facts!!
I lived in an outer borough so its pretty mich like being in the suburbs. Id rather be in the heart of a smaller city.
Unfortunately they’re all moving to Brooklyn. There are these new apartments for sale in Crown Heights and the starting price is $1.5 Million.
I'd still pick NYC. Moral of the story: Live where you want to live, spend your own money how you want to spend it, what makes one person happy might not be what makes another person happy.
Rakion09214 just don't spend all your money or else you won't be happy lol
You are correct even though our opinions are different your moral i agree with it completely
Sounds grand until someone gets sick or loses their job and you have no savings or get married and have no down payment for a house.
Stephanie Yen how about Newburgh
Dont forget to factor NY city and state taxes stealing an additional 12 percent of your hard earned money.
NYC: $1500 _"I wish I had space for a desk"_
How sad.
Not actually a $1500 NY apartment. It would have definitely had less features if they were not paying $6000
DMS Inc. Thank you you're not the only one to notice that thank you thank you thank you I saw that and I was like that's not a $1,500 apartment that's a $6,000 a month apartment. But it looks like there's only three of them sharing it so maybe it's actually only 4500 but still that's a lot of damn money to throw at just renting. I live in Phoenix I have a three-bedroom two-bath it's about $1,100. Complex isn't that old we have a pool I have my own washer and dryer wood floors you know the usual
Thing is, one is in NYC, and the other is in Houston.
that’s why he said “it’s a steal”
look out buzzfeed you’re exposed
1720 for 1bed room and 1 bathroom no balcony in San José ca. In downtown.
gayboyzig ”The Bronx” rather have Queens or Long Island
Clearly dude ain’t from new York if he thinks thats a steal lol
He was most likely born in the US to Indian immigrants.
@@forrestliu5783 He looks mixed. Maybe half Indian.
Felix Ortiz it is a steal
Felix Ortiz here in nyc mostly for 1500 you only find a 2 bedroom apartment
He’s definitely Pakistani but born here and for manhattan that’s pretty cheap
I've been to both cities. NY is more cultural & lots to do. Houston is more livable & affordable.
Diane Albrecht housotn is very cultural to you just NEED a car in order to be able to do anything or go anywhere
Ummm obviously haven't made friends with Houston people cuz we got a lot of culture and things to do
Tea Time OP didn’t deny that Houston DOESNT have culture New York is just- melting pot-culture haven
Houston is more cultural tbh
Houston is one of the most diverse cities in the U.S. #1 in Texas, prob in U.S
the new york apt rent is not $1500 its $6000 if you didnt catch that. he's a roommate and they each pay $1500 there are 4 roommates. where i live rooms for rent are around $350 to $550 a month. my god the difference is grand.
its because he's in a popular area in Manhattan. Take a 30 min train ride to Queens or the Bronx and you can find rooms to rent for 600-950.
Where do u live?
I thought California was bad, paying 600$ to rent a room. Damn.
Emily Young where do you live lol? 600 is definitely possible to find in California but you’re incredibly more likely to find a one bedroom for around 800 at the absolutely lowest going up to usually no more than 1100 depending on what city you’re trying to reside.
Im currently in Illinois and my rent is essentialy $0.
"6k a month ...its a steal.” What's the suicide rate ? 100%
Matt Havens uhhhm actually this is one of the most populated states in the US sooo...
Matt Havens it’s also at least a four bedroom so consider that
But it's split between 3 of them
DarthAwesome _ acting like that means its nice to live in
Don’t have to pay rent when you *ded*
I don't even know why I'm watching this. I live in Canada 😂
Toronto will end up exactly like NYC anyways.
Ive never related more to a comment
@@tenko5541 it's basically a mix of NYC and Canada or course but mostly New York
@@tenko5541 True.
me liking your comment from italy
I made the move from NY to Houston 4 yrs ago. Best decision of my life!
New York,
The city were you pay 1000$ a month for a broom closet 🤪👌
Thats the charm
Hong Kong is No.1 when it comes to this tho lol
Lol you’re lucky if your rent is $1000 in manhattan. Average for a room in a 3 or 4 bdrm is like $1500
Stop complaining at least nyc is not hong kong 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Aaron Glisson Pretty much
I guess everything *is* bigger in Texas 😂😂
Stole the words right from my mouth. Well done
Elie K. It is and for some reason cheaper too
Yup, and weirder I should know.😂
I’m dirty minded a thought of something else when I read this and everything is bigger in Texas I live in Houston Texas
😂😂😂
Why do these videos always show Manhattan. Like obviously Manhattan is the most expensive place show the bronx or queen where most people live.
Bronx and Queens isn't trendy...yet. LIC and Astoria being exceptions.
Cafelogis I've lived in Astoria for 15 years n I can confirm its gettin expensive
Studios in even the sketchiest Bronx neighborhoods cost 1.5k now.
Actually the Bronx and queens is just as expensive honestly. The only way you won’t pay to live in NY is if you’re on public assistance living in a nyc housing apartment. Every part of nyc is expensive. I just moved form nyc to PA.
@@BeyondBeauty20 You can still find some decent priced gems in Woodside and Sunnyside. But that won't last too long.
I hate the fact that he said, "basically a steal". Smh
Yeah cause he basically getting robbed
He did say he lives on the upper east side (UES). $1500 for a shared bedroom is a steal. Studios start at $2500. Single bedrooms are $3200. So yeah....it's a steal.
1. Living on the UES isn't cheap
2. You have to be making well north of 6 figures (200k-300k) to live well on the UES
3. Living in Manhattan is not for wealth building unless #2 applies to you or living in Manhattan is required for work (finance sector). Even if a job pays you 2x more in Manhattan than Houston, you will pay 2-3x more for everything (groceries, transportation, restaurants, drinks, rent). Name it - it will cost more. Own a car and want to garage it? $600/month. Going out with friends to drink? $100 minimum. This city is not for the faint of heart or light of wallet.
- UES New Yorker
because they're stealing from him 😂
You can live in Houston and fly to New York for regular visits for less than the cost of renting there.
Callie Masters ha! I recognize you name from Jon Olssons vlog. How in the hell did we end up on this random vlog together? I guess YT is promoting this video.
yeah, but you still have to live in Houston
Oh yeah, who would want to spend an substantial less amount of money for a similar lifestyle? Not worth the money to live in NYC unless you are loaded.
I'm from NYC. Moved to Houston and never looked back.
AnhViet Tran not from Houston but used to live in NY and New York is trash af
1500 dollars can get you a nice metal shack in LA
Nightcore Natalie lmao that you think la takes care of their homeless. They won't even allow homeless people to park tiny homes built by charities for them there.
lol facts
Justin Y. You can’t afford metal in Los Angeles for that
San fransico is more expensive
Nightcore Natalie lol like LA people care about their homeless people
The one thing bad about Houston is...
The humidity 😂
I did a premove visit but the heat and humidity was so bad I changed my mind on moving to Houston. Nice city though
Temi Mayor if you live hear for about 30yrs and never stepped foot in any other costal climate it’s not so bad.
As a houstonian I can say I totally-*phone overheats*
I live in Miami and I'll take the humidity over the cold.
Oh definitely it’s hot as hell
$1,500 for a room with 3 other people...nope
😂😂😂 true.
Im convinced that rent is better everywhere other than ny
You'd be wrong, San Fransico is still a place in America.
Facts😩💯
Game Head try moving to Maryland
Tokyo, and, LONDON are worst than NY
Paris, Sydney, Singapour are a little better than NY but still
secret lol wrong
You guys are funny😂 He pays $1,500 for HIMSELF. The whole apartment is $6,000 a month. Yes $1,500 for one room in a shared apartment that’s NY(Manhattan).
JusticeAndrew Well but I think the idea is that you can see what 1,5k/Month gets you. The best alternatives
that makes it worse
I was just about to comment this.
JusticeAndrew
Hey Justice,
I'm from England ....Wow I thought that sounded like a good deal for NYC, until I read your comments, what I crazy Rip Off to live in the Rat Race!
JusticeAndrew
I don't think I could live in Any City, they are all Rat Races, full of people going round and round getting and going No where!
It's Amazing to think folks buy land and build places out in the country, and at very reasonable prices compared to this crazy BS!
Suffocating on Smog and paying a fortune for it, ....Crazy!
By am RV and travel around America!
Don’t move to Houston pls we have enough traffic 😅
Giovanna Rodriguez obviously u haven’t been to LA
Dang a lil too late for that my guy
To bad
Welcome to Houston, where everyone constantly says no to the idea of commuter rail or any good public transit or walkable, dense neighborhoods in the city yet they complain nonstop about something as petty as traffic... i mean talk about childish
i am from Colombia and you dont know whats is a traffic jam
I'm from nyc. I was trying to figure out where they was gonna find an apt for $1500. Of course they find a shared apt 🤦🏾♀️
Let’s see a $6000 a month house in Texas vs. this $6000 apartment.
Basically a mansion. Or penthouse
Yep. Houston is the best, its why I love living in the lone star state
Tone Combs I lived in a $12 thousand (a month) apartment in NYC for 6 years and it’s not that bad, I feel like people just need to go to NYC to grow opportunity when their careers are on an exponential slope, not the start of them but 10 years in for example. The apartment was 19N at the Corinthian in Manhattan and it was decent, had a view of the Hudson across the entirety except for a little part blocked by another skyscraper (far away); I even saw the CocaCola red sign across the river (I think that was in Queens). Apartment had 3 bathrooms with 2 rooms, one small extra room (big enough for a good sized living room, a SMALL kitchen but out of the way, a wide hall way, and a huge living and dining room combined which is where the oval glass view of the river was. Most young people think the top location is NYC and sure, urbanization of a population is good but NYC is an example where it starts to get too congested. People need to move evenly through cities which control prices and living conditions, helping the economy and themselves. But that won’t happen anytime soon.
Exactly.
Tone Combs I agree, this video is pointless. You can't get a 1500 dollar apartment in NY. Your point is well-taken. Bogus comparison.
Not a surprise…
Everything is bigger in Texas.
DAMNIT I just commented that
Haha nice one 😂
Oliver Queen Lol ikr
unCrownD I guess you were a tad too late
Oliver Queen I mean YEAH, but no? Lol I understand why that stereotype exists, but like no at the same time
Anyways, hope y’all have a good day/night🌸💛
I love NYC, but I will never live there, H-Town is home forever 🤘🏼❤️
:D
Kim Sanchez Well hello there😍
So you live in Houston?
$6,000 for rent in NYC. for that you can live in a mansion in Houston
Where my Houstonians at???!!!!!😝😝😝😝😝🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Erika Lopez nawfwest

Erika Lopez here
Right here
I could never pay 1500 for a shared space, dont care what the location is.
If you want to live in New York that's what you get for 1,500.
Exactly D To99.
So glad my city has options...in Indianapolis, With 1500 In you can either be in the heart of downtown with a luxurious comfortable sized apartment, rent a 3 bedroom nice sized town home, or be renting a nice house in the suburbs.
Anna Draper it’s not, you get way less
Same
New York is so crowded that the city just wants to push people out with ridiculous rent prices lol. Love NYC but it’s hard to live sometimes.
Donny Jay we have more people here than half the states in the country put together.
You can live in a house in the suburbs for $1500 in Georgia 😭😭

Roaches are easy to get rid of. Rats however are not. I'll take a roach for $995 Alex. LOL
Yesss I love living in the Woodlands in Texas. I live about 35 miles from Katy. You can get a nice apartment with your own garage space
Katy is Katy, TX...it’s not Houston. Just like Round Rock isn’t Austin. Of course the outskirts are cheaper. You pay for location & to have easy access to the things in the city
I live in Uvalde, Tx, a few hours away from Houston, and pay $690 for a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment. Not a lot of perks, but the building is nice, and we live in town.

From a relative that lives in Houston he stated the yankees moving here have caused an increase of homes, apartments, and land prices. Also the traffic is horrendous.
It's true. Not only from ny but from all over. People seem to be wanting to move to houston more and more. We are packed
Everyone is trying to escape california
Californians need to stay in their state, they are driving up the prices all over Texas, and are voting for the same mess that messed up their state and turning Texas blue.
WHAT PART OF NY IS THIS?!?!? His Appartment is a mansion compare to some NY Apartments I've been to.
lifeisablessing He said Upper East Side and I’m surprised because you would expect the rent to be significantly higher for the size.
lifeisablessing Brooklyn definitely. I would say Bushwick more than likely or Bed-Stuy.
lifeisablessing That is if that were to be in a 1 bed or 2 bed. But he is subletting a room in a 4 bed apartment which is 6k per month.
Well rent is 6000 but each Person in the apartment pays 1500
He found the unicorn of apartments!!
THIS DUDE WAS SO HAPPY ABOUT HIS DISHWASHER 😭 everyone owns a dishwasher in houston 🤟
jessica Shakur yep, and I don’t know about every apartment complex in Houston, but we have a room with washers and dryers
Yep,its called a mexican.
Jesus Christ LMAOO YES theres hella hispanics over here 😭
jessica Shakur Congrats 💁🏾♀️
Jesus Christ don't forget about the lawnmower people lmao
I live in NY
And there is NO
Possible way you can
Find a 1500 $ apt.
I live in Los Angeles, I'll rather move to Texas vs. New York.😱
Stay in California we don’t need more liberals here in our great state 🇺🇸
TexasBoy Easye You should move to Mississippi since you think a conservative state is better. If you had some sense, you would know that the cities with the best economy’s are democratic cities. You don’t see anyone flocking to Biloxi, MS or Mobile, AL.
Your comment is so damn ignorant. 🤦♂️
I say this as born and raised Texan.
vr6gls Idk I’m not cool with paying $3000 rent in California. Just my opinion 🥳
California is just as expensive
If you are a liberal please don't come to Texas and turn it like California🙃
I lived in NYC for a few years then moved back home to Nashville, and...OMG. I respect Manhattan, but you've gotta really *really* really want to live there. Because otherwise, there is no excuse for living there.
So as a person like yourself, That has lived there you think New York City is just better off being visited rather than living there? I have always wanted to move there.
Nashville born and raised over here too !!!
I agree...nobody should have to live with so much discomfort...1500 dollars is a good bit of money. Sharing with 3 others is crazy, what happens to privacy all those things are sacrificed and he thinks it's great. Like you have options Mann..I mean if u must wrk there then okay you might not have a choice...other than that..this through that.. impressing ppl with a dryer and washer ..n I Am from a shithole country 😐😐😐 according to your President . Wow that's quite a system.
I live a little north of Nashville! I moved from Dallas to here a few years ago and as much as Texas still has my heart, the people in Tennessee are just amazingly nice.
I’ve lived in metro Nashville my whole life. I’m about to move into a 2 bed 2 bath house in Antioch (which is 10 min outside of Nashville) that a friend and I were able to get for $1000 per month. I hope to work in the theatre industry, so I’m not looking forward to paying those prices if I make my way up to New York.
we been knew houston cheaper, just stop makin vids about it so people won't move here and raise our prices lmfao
steffi lmaooooo u said it best 🙌🙌🙌
Texas one of the most populated states in the US only way price would significantly go up is if the population absolutely out grew the amount of housing available which is pretty unlikely
Yes !!! Lol htown is already too packed already 😰
Right!
WhatEvenIsThis _ Say that to anyone who lives in Austin Texas... Our prices are going significantly up because of all the californians moving here...
Texan here who moved to Colombia 4 years ago and haven't regretted a day. Great culture, beautiful women, and cheap cost of living. Started recording videos of my life here if anyone is interested. 😁
Just subscribed your channel. Please make a apartment tour video.
I am going to watch all three video once I am home in the evening.
All The Apts in NYC are Totally Different....Not All The Apts are small...I'm shocked at his $1500 rent apt...The Texas Apt is niceeee..
No rentals for 6k in Houston, you'd be getting a huge house like 10k square feet for that price. I own a 3000 square foot home in Houston and pay two grand a month for mortgage.
InATimelyFashion I'm not a home owner. Is that relatively cheap or expensive??
In my opinion... for Houston it’s middle of the road.
You can find plenty of 6K/m rentals in Midtown and the Heights. I'm a renter and live in Montrose. Trust me.
Rinzler oh really? Why would you pay that much rent though, why not just own a home.
InATimelyFashion Not everyone wants to be locked down to one place for 30 years
$6000 for that tiny place? You could rent 7 bed/7 bath mansion in Houston for that kind of money. Thank God I live in Houston. Everything is truly bigger here. 😆
Nicole Collins obviously it’s not just where you live.. it’s the industry, opportunities, schools why people live there
Again cheaper
Ostentatious Savant lets all be real..Houston sucks
Yeah but then you’d be in Houston and not New York
Exactly I pay $1200.00 for my place and I have a washer and dryer and my own garage... Houston tx baby
The dude in New York should go to Home Depot and build a loft bed out of 4x4 lumbers and hex bolts then put a desk underneath his bed
1500 is expensive for Houston unless you are making six figures it’s irresponsible to spend that much
Would've been a more impressive video if you compared a $1500 or $6000 apartment in both cities
But are there any $1500 apartments on Manhattan?
there are, but they're few and far between. It also wouldn't have been much of a tour for the video. One room, loft bed, maybe a sink if you're lucky, shared hall bathroom. That's what $1500 can get you in manhattan on your own.
$6,000 is a really beautiful home in Houston.
No rentals for 6k in Houston, you'd be getting a huge house like 10k square feet for that price. I own a 3000 square foot home in Houston and pay two grand a month for mortgage.
You can't because a $1500 apartment doesn't exist in Manhattan so they had to find someone who is paying that much as their part split with roommates.
NY is unaffordable for young people
Most of them end up living with a roommate
isn't it just nyc though mostly? what about renting in different parts of ny and commute to job in nyc ?
xyoopridex i live in the outer NYC boroughs and its equally as unaffordable and mass transit is really bad outside of Manhattan
hmm, should I just get a job in nyc, rent a place somewhere in NJ close to ny port authority and commute...
nyc the playground for rich ppl
Omg I love the Houston apartment😍
It's actually a pretty crap apartment for the price, I'm going to guess she bought it because of the zoning rather than because of the apartment it's self, you can definitely get something twice as big if you look hard enough.
Anarchy Empire oh so that apartment was worth 6000 a month Houston is way better than NYC and Houston apartment was pretty nice
And the New York had nothing compared to the Houston apartment
So basically dorm life vs. actual apartment. They could have had an actual $1500 apartment in Flatbush nyc.
I’m from NYC and umm remind me why ppl want to live here?
Keisha Charmaine broadway for me
Keisha Charmaine exactly...I just left NYC and moved to va. I have a 3bdrm 2bath apt for 1104 a month. (worth it)
Keisha Charmaine Opportunity, historic city, beautiful place.
It’s just kind of expensive and small, stuff you can expect with big cities.
Cause quenns get the money
Been here all my life.. Its overrated and expensive!
$6000 for a 4 bedroom apartment... wtf here in Vegas I can find a 4 bedroom HOUSE for $1500 🤦♀️
Tiarra Eshone exactly !! That’s why I left houston to Vegas ! Houston rent is wayyy to expensive!! I found a house in Vegas for 800 leas than an apartment in houston!!!
Tiarra Eshone I'd rather live in New York than in Vegas
Dapper Don lol that’s fine if u have the money. But the heat doesn’t bother me 🤷♀️
khen bernardino fr they have the BEST houses here and for cheap. I can’t wait to get one next year 😍
Tiarra Eshone where in Vegas do you live?
Jesus.... Here in Wyoming, I'm paying $500 for an 1100 sq ft 2 bedroom. That's not even split with anyone like these
unreal wow
What’s a Wyoming?
Location, location, location.
Well, considering the size of Wyoming, and how it has less people than Rhode Island, it's really not a surprise to me.
cuz its in the middle of nowhere
Uhh washer and dryers are NOT in every apartment In Houston
I think they meant in THAT building.
Haha yeah right
Thats true. I only had the room an outlets but I gotta have my own.
So basically don't live in New York City.
This is the only thing I quote Madonna on, but she said NYC is the greatest place if you're rich & the worst if you're poor.
Neither California nor Nevada
your not from nyc stfu ok. My family is poor but we own a house in queens. You shoud reword that. Dont live in manhattan
Bollywood Media girl you not lying
GoldenFerrari778 Not necessarily. I live in the South Bronx and my area is quickly becoming gentrified. People who have lived in my building for decades are being kicked in favor of people like the guy in this video who don't mind paying $1,500 a month to "make due" with an apartment they can't even turn around in. Also, your family can't be that poor if you own a house.
I feel like the one in Houston is better the girl just didn't describe it well 😂😭"nice brown rug" what??😂
Yeah i was thinking the same thing like wow what an awesome rug
anne arlequin it depends on where you live and if its by lets say a freeway it may tend to be alittle pricy
😂 right ..when did it become about the furniture
Y'all have to cut me some slack, I was being sarcastic haha the rug does feel nice on your toes though!
Ok but y’all
I’m from Texas and I did an economics project where I budgeted living in new York and dangggggg it was sooo expensive!!!
Nah, Texas is just particularly cheap, The Texan government actually knows how to do it's work so it's people don't suffer under the same BS that the people of NY or Cali do.
Anarchy Empire Costs actually vary a lot in Texas. Desirable areas in DFW and Austin can get pretty expensive
And then people from New York and California be like : “But who wants to live in Texas” lmfao
Hasan islam There is a lot to do I live in Austin and it is very affordable and fun.
And then those same people move to Texas lmao
@@hasanislam1411 Been there 3 times. Loved it. Can't wait to move. NYC is crap.
Proud Houstonians 💕
Edit: oooh ouch it almost felt like they were straight up roasting nyc 💀😂
UnovaTrainerWhite ik houston be dragging nyc
Hey at least NYC had a wine cooler😂
Houston, Texas BABY
UnovaTrainerWhite #htx 🔥
Rent in Houston is still more expensive than smaller cities. I'm in Houston now, but when I lived in Kansas city rent for a 1 bedroom (utilities included) was $500. Nowadays in Houston a 1 bedroom is near twice that amount and don't include utilities.
Lol, if he actually paid 1,500 dollar's a month for a place in NYC he'd be living in a cardboard box.
But he is...I don't get what you're trying to say. He lives with 4 roommates and each pay 1500. So the total rent is 6000
Emma Brown My bad, if he didn't share his rent.
No, he’s just be living in a studio/one bedroom not on the expensive Upper East Side of NYC.
The Man I pay 975 for a 2 room house in ny lol it depends on the area. Manhattan its extremely expensive.. and nop I do not live in the hood
with enough space for a desk😂
“This is when it gets really special” *proceeds to show a washing machine* hahahaha
K. B. Even outside of NYC many apartments don’t have in unit laundry. Most high end units in Dallas will but many cheaper apartment complexes in my area make you pay extra to rent them.
Miniumum wage in Houston is $7.25 vs. NYC is $15 or $13.50 if there are fewer than 11 employees.
NY has state and city tax. Also cost for food and transportation is much higher..
From a Houstonian, Don't!!! We don't need more people living here we have enough traffic
It wouldn't be so bad if we had decent public transportation
filosophy not your country
i don't like cities like Houston because of that, gotta drive EVERYWHERE unless you live Downtown. It's a hassle and makes you gain weight to not be able to walk to the store.
Lmao WE COMING DOWN THERE !!!
I live in houston and I can agree traffic is super bad
Damn don’t be telling people how cheap it is for people to live here!
Josh Haydon im glad people are thinking smart as well we need like a capicity limit where people from other states dont come n stay
The secret is out! You'll have overpriced apartments with reclaimed wood furniture and Edison bulbs in no time!
Josh Haydon foreal, we don't need more traffic lol
I live in Houston and when I heard how much people in New York pays, I almost had a heart attack . Paying 900 dollars for a studio seem too much for me and now I see that studios in New York it’s like 3 times the price
Actually what she pays in Huston is a studio in New York
I live in a three rooms apartment and we pay 2200$. 740$ each one but this is Long Island, an hour and 15 minutes from Manhattan.
I have a 3 bedroom house with a fire place/2 car garage/and huge back yard with a garden fire pit and koi pond for the same price in San Diego. I’m convinced I’m never moving.
This is kind of inaccurate since the New York City Apartment is $6,000 rent even though one person pays 1500. The Houston will technically be $750 rent
Jacy Fang I think they’re basing it off of 1bedroom worth of rent
Either way Houston still had the better deal
My rent is 1380 for a 3 bedroom apartment which is pretty big
well clearly you've never seen my apartment for only $1380 a month, 2BA 3BR 1Balcony, surrounded by 3 parks and 1 upcoming park, a huge soccer field, coulee basketball and handball courts, also surrounded by restaurants and a bunch of food, a gym, and 2 clinics
Puspita Esha that's what you are paying, not the total rent so yea that could be nice
In San Francisco $1,500 will get you a nice closet, and if you’re lucky it might come with a decent coat rack.
and you are proud of this why?
TheSinisterEyes1 Please tell me where in the short sentence that I wrote did I say I was proud of how high the rent is?
Is this dog friendly and have good schools nearby?
In 2009-2013 I shared studio apartments in SF with my best friend and then my bf for around 1450 a month, and we actually thought THAT was highway robbery. The rents are astronomical now, and I know damn well people aren't magically making 2x their wages in 5 years, so obviously people can't pay that and have to go somewhere else. I moved to Utah and over the course of 4 years downtown apartments have risen to nearly the same damn amount as we were paying in SF back then. We looked into moving somewhere else but every city with a booming job market is the same story. So I accepted a job offer in SF and we're moving back to the bay area trying to find the most affordable neighborhood. I'd love to go were rent is $700 but there aren't any jobs for me in those places.
I would rent an apartment in in Texas too live that lifestyle.
This is a video of cities with zoning laws and limited apartments vs a city without and much cheaper housing; Houston really is a remarkable place
Not to mention NYC is technically $6,000 total
I hate when people in nyc split rent but pass it off as if that was the total rent. The title is misleading.
classic buzzfeed
I lived in Nyc for over 20 years. 1500 a months does not even get u a full studio. U would have a rented bedroom in someone else’s apartment.
kev2020
VERY VERY misleading. As person born and raised in NYC this pisses me off. That was a $6k NYC apartment, would love to see how luxurious a $6k apartment in that other city was.
Damn! Wow!! Houston Texas baby!! Way better than NYC! Cheaper...more affordable..and better paying American jobs!!!
New York is so expensive to live in....and yet the apartment is small
Damn I pay just over $950 and my 1 bedroom is bigger than his 4, and I'm right across from the space center.
I'm also in Houston. :)
Raven same! Well I pay like 1,300 and I’m at the village on the lake. Where do you stay?
Yo i live in orchard lakes in sugar land basically Houston
I didn’t expect Houston to be trending I love Houston
I live in clear lake too wtf small world
I pay 1500 for rent and I have a 3 bedroom house in S w Houston
rent prices stress me outn
Fajitahmed ermmm I don’t see how it’s biased. It’s the truth lol NYC is super expensive and it’s not the best living conditions. I personally hate going to NYC and I live 20 mins away from Manhattan lol
Then move where it's cheaper. If you can't afford to live somewhere, you can't afford to live somehwere.
That's why I just bought a house lol. Less than 1200 a month for a 3 bedroom house just outside of houston.
Fajitahmed how
outn?
NY tolls are so high. The varasano (not sure how to spell it) cost $18 to cross it. I think i saw you can apply for credit at one of these NY toll bridges 🤣
For everyone saying that this isn't an actual $1500 apartment, you forgot that those don't exist in nyc lol.
How do people even live in New York?!
Because people convince themselves that cities are we you go to become "cultured" without realizing cities are really just cesspools.
You get a job that pays you the money to afford your lifestyle. That’s how you do it.....it’s called being American.
SushiFairy that apartment tour made my heart cry
We don’t.
With great stress 🙃
the east coast is too expensive but everything is around here and the city life is really incredible. hate it but love it ahhh.
PrincessRiners i live in Texas and we have the cheapest houses in the United states #houston
northeast coast is expensive, southeast is just fine lol
We may have cheap housing,but not a lot of nightlife. Everything closes after 2am.
Myrse Valentine Lol 2 am is when I go out
southeast isn’t nearly as expensive as northeast
I haven't been to NY but I've been in Houston and totally love it!
3 other roommate's crazy. He should of just stay at home with his parents if he has to live with 3 other ppl.😒😒
*_housTOn TeXAs BABy_*
Nah the freeway
Not even a fair comparison. It's a $6000 rent apartment vs a $1500 apartment.
One apartment is 4 bedrooms and the other is 1-2
thats because there are no 1500 dollar apartments in manhattan anymore, specially upper east side
But the $6000 apartment is much worse than the $1500 . Like what you mean
And the 1500$ is better too. Its sad. Makes you wonder Why people live in NYC.
Not really but still tho
Hell Na don’t show this. We always got enough people moving in Houston 😂. We don’t need anymore people.
Dearestrella ok why not
Alfredo Alcantar We have enough traffic here. There are plenty of other great cities for y’all to move too. 👍
On top of that, all of our beautiful trees and land are being destroyed in favor of generic looking apartments to meet demand. 👎
Come live in Texas, you can a mansion from 2000 a month
H-Town, hold it down💙
Stephanie Reyes 😎😎😎
Stephanie Reyes yeeeeaaaa
😛
GO STROS
Stephanie Reyes 🤘🏿
please stop making these we don't want people moving here and making it more expensive
It's happened here in Oregon for the past 10 years, we have a crazy homeless, eviction and employment problem, now :)
Hate to break it to you but the world is overpopulated. One buzzfeed video isn't going to made Houston burst at the seams with new residents. Don't be ridiculous.
Ryan H us
Agreed
I don’t know why you’re thinking everybody wanna move to Houston texas, there’s plenty of fine cities out there that are not in the south
5:25 lol he said "We have are own laundry and dryer...." LOL
New York lifestyle is crazy I lived there for 2 years
