    Yeah if you’re spending 50% of your disposable income on rent, it’s “affordable”

    Meanwhile I make similar money with WFH but I own a house with a mortgage less than half of that ridiculous rent rate.

      I’m wouldn’t even spending a 1/3 of my income on that 3k rent. A programmer can very much afford to live in NYC quite comfortably while still saving for the future.
