Paulie Popcorn
I've Got It
Yes. I would move to either place! PRobably NYC because I'm from Upstate NY originally and my family is there. Just a trivia tip about me. My character Paulie Popcorn comes from Paulie Walnuts in the Sopranos.
I've been looking at costs for houses for rent vs apartments. More space for similar pricing. Also the possibility of having a housemate to cut costs if it came down to that. That's probably what I'm going to do.I'm actually considering moving to LA very soon, but the only thing holding me back is the RIDICULOUS housing costs. I'd really want a two bedroom apartment to use one as a studio, but they're just insanely priced for what you get. LA is in a huge housing bubble. Even in the outskirts of LA, for the same pricing you'd get twice the space and twice as nice an apartment literally anywhere else (except maybe NY or San Francisco). So I have to decide whether to bite the bullet on an expensive place and reduce the amount I can save, or just live in a shoebox sized apartment.
This is very true. I know when I lived in Irvine (about 40 minutes outside of LA), it was 2700/month for a 3 bed, 2 bath house. We pay the same price for our current home, but its double the beds and 3.5 baths.I'm actually considering moving to LA very soon, but the only thing holding me back is the RIDICULOUS housing costs.
