minus-squarejtrek@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkarrow-up7·22 hours agoYou’re making me grapple with how expensive housing is here. A down payment for a two bedroom apartment in Brooklyn is going to be like $100-200k. It’s fine, I tell myself. I can walk to everything I need and take transit to everything else.

minus-square[deleted]@piefed.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·21 hours agoApartments here are ridiculous. I can get a home loan with payments half of a comparable apartment. Yes, I would be responsible for maintenance but I’ve owned before and it is still less expensive than renting even with maintenance.
