I could live this way.... I am an urban person..

My apartment in Long Beach (which I loved) was a historic high rise, 550 sq. ft. I paid 750 a month and that included utilities. I had a view of the ocean and other high rises around me. I LOVED LOVED LOVED it. Very cozy. I am a very minimalist sort of person and I even had parties at my pad, pretty big ones too...

Someone mentioned that guys like bigger places. Well I can tell you why.

We do not care. We will have a motorcylce in parts in one bedroom, another full of dogshit and one rented out to some wet,,,,, refugees. We don't care. The south side of the house is hot, crank the air in the north side to save electric. Too much shit in the basement, well that is WHY IT IS IN THE BASEMENT. You want everything all spiffy and organized while we simply don't give a shit, unless it is something that makes money. Then that's different.

But up until then, we simply don't give a fuck as long as we have at least one clean fork and knife. Plates don't even matter, there is always cardboard. So it soaks in, throw it out afterwards.

I hope I have been enlightening here.

90 Sq. Ft. $700/month

I've lived in some small apartments in my time, but this is ridiculous especially at $700/month. I don't care if it is NYC, I've seen bigger closets. Would you pay that much for something like this?

You might not care that it's in Manhattan, but it's actually dirt cheap for NYC, and with NYC I mean Manhattan and not being in Queens of Brooklyn. You're right in the center there and about 10 years ago I paid $400 for a tiny room in a shared flat (one of the great railway flats so somebody was always walking through my room, no window in my room) in Hell's Kitchen, and that was before it was disneyfied. It's not that MUCH, it's actually that CHEAP. Sure you can get bigger places, you just add a 0 to the rent, depends how much you want to spend or can afford to spend.

City centers of big cities tend to be expensive, the boomdocks are cheap, depends what you like, but if you consider that expensive, I suggest you don't even look at London or Munich rents, you might just get a heart attack.
