Hi Morgy,
Do you mean $4,500 per month?
A friend of mine thinks she could get a one bedroom for $2,000 in Manhattan. I told her that it would be very small and have bad air/heating.
But I tend to be negative in general and in particular when it comes to rent and mortgages.
I feel that people should stay put. 'Sounds stupid. I wonder why people move. It's one of my
things that can only partly be explained by moving every two years thanks to a Navy father and then going to 5 colleges before I got a BA, partly due to the moving of my family.
