I think that's what he meant. $1,300 is nothing in NYC.

It would be higher if it werent for rent control. The landlord hasnt put it up in 5 years.

I actually live in Queens, to live in a nice part of Manhattan (which the wifey keeps pushing for) would probably be $2000 minimum for less space than we have now.

If doing so leaves you enough disposable cash to actually enjoy what Manhattan has to offer and doesn't set you back on your tax-deferred savings goals, then go for it.

Albuquerque is a sh!thole.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

Why?

Gangs keep the housing prices down. I have a buddy that works at Los Alamos and he said Albuquerque is not an option for that reason.

An extremely expensive one. It may also depend on how 'gang' is defined.

my new jersey "suburb" has over 50,000 residents but there is no gang problem to speak of. there are gangs in neighboring cities/towns but they don't affect us aside from the occasional home invasion and gps stealing spree. is it extremely expensive here? sure, by alabama standards but around here it's just another barely middle class suburb.

So, what would you attribute the lack of gangs in your town to be?
