    You should name the Llamas after yourselves but double the first letter:
    Mmike and Bbrianna the Llamas

    Honestly I thought this apartment in NYC for $2250 is quite amazingly priced! They have a sweet space for NYC, especially that patio!
    Everyone needs to stop commenting on how cheap it is to live everywhere else, WE GET IT. Whichever city people choose to live, it's their choice! We are well aware that NYC is obviously one of the most expensive place on earth! It's natural that a big city like NYC would have higher costs of living. Every other big cities in the world is JUST THE SAME, San Fran, Paris, London..etc. I live in Toronto, and I pay close to $3K for my mortgage of a small townhome. My friends pay $1.6K for a small studio downtown. ALSO When you live in a big city, you also naturally get to be paid more. Everything is relative. We get that it is cheaper to live in Taxas or anywhere else, but We all made the choice!

      Susan Lee not everyone in a big city gets paid more. Many folks are struggling financially too. The rents in new York are obscene.

    • @susan8098
      @susan8098 6 лет назад +18

      True, not everyone earns more in big cities, but generally big cities tend to have a bit higher payscale. The point is, I think we are all well aware of how expensive NY is and we all made our choices. Whether it works for anyone or not, it's their choice. The point of this series is to showcase what it's like in NY, I just don't think people should get judgemental towards them for living the way they are.

    can people stop saying "you can get a house in xyz double that size for that price". Obviously they would rather not live in the middle of nowhere so they settle for paying a ton of money in a tiny apt. Let it be.

    • @Anonymousdal11
      @Anonymousdal11 6 лет назад +7

      La Casavloga new York is not the only placed with night life and culture. You new Yorkers need to travel more if you believe that. New York is insanely overpriced and it's not because it has nightlife. It just has too many damn people.

    • @ellax325
      @ellax325 6 лет назад +42

      Anonymous yeah yeah we get it but can non-New Yorkers stop trying to shove their rural tastes down our throats like goddamn it's annoying. It's not your money or your life. People enjoy NYC for the life, the opportunities and the fact that they can get a bacon, egg and cheese from the deli on the corner at 3 in the morning. Until you can guarantee that somewhere else, we'll stick to NYC.

    @sillythingsme186 7 лет назад +23

    This is what being young and wanting to have a city life looks like/costs. Yes we can all move to the boonies and have a mansion for $1000/month, but some people don't want to have to drive an hour for good food, culture and things that cities offer. Or maybe they just want to take public transport and not have to drive a 1.5 hr (cough SoCal) commute to work. This is about lifestyle priorities, it is totally subjective, but when you are young and have no kids, some people think neighborhood amenities take priority over acreage.

    FYI I believed for the longest time that I couldn't keep plants alive. I can't tell you how many times that either my ex-husband or myself threw away countless orchid plants because we were essentially to lazy to do any research which I am still a bit embarrassed to admit but Orchids usually only bloom for about four months out of a 12 month period. Or at least the orchids that we had at the time so don't give up on them because you may be doing just fine! 😊
