New York is just one of the country’s tight real estate markets, which means renters everywhere are factoring in what trade-offs they are willing to make to land an apartment.
As part of our new Guardian US series, The Rent Is Too Damn High, we want readers to share the compromises they’ve made – whether you live in one of the most competitive areas like New York, Boston, the Bay Area or Miami ... or anywhere in between.
Is the rent cheap but you have to climb the fire escape to get in? Do you have a skyline view but no kitchen? Are you back to a roommate situation for the first time in a decade? Whatever the trade-off, we want to hear about it (and whether or not it was worth it).
