      Yes it is like the evolution of a Californian in NYC. Even your demeanor seems to have turned up a couple of degrees on the frequency level. Still very chill but clearly acclimating well. (Im currently trying to do this with out moving to NYC thats why I see it).
      Congrats on keeping Amazing view place!! I have never seen anything like it. I grew up in Ca and moved out east when I was young. It was a culture shock of course but I remember thinking snow was beautiful. .. now not so much 😆
      Looking forward to seeing your continued acclimation.

      I work under a landlord in Manhattan and I agree as well, the 1.5% should kick in 6 month's into your new lease just so you know. Starting Oct 1st,2022 it will be 3.25% for 1 and 5% for 2 year leases. There's more information that can benefit you if you plan on staying in NYC but it's a learning process.

We’ve applied for two places now and have had someone chosen over us, we’ve made appointments to see multiple places and then have had the broker cancel before we even get there because it’s been taken, and there’s hardly anything available in our price range in our current neighborhood. 😬

    Question! Because it seems like we all loved the format of this video (the changing locations without interrupting the flow)... did you write out a general script for this and then read/recite the whole thing in each location and splice together your favorites? Or did you only say certain things in certain locations, all planned out ahead of time?
    I'm loving watching you get more comfortable on here with your editing style! đŸ„°

Especially for people who do not live in NY you pointed out some of what is unique in apartment hunting here.. As a born and bred NYer, it came as a complete surprise when you revealed at the end that you found out you would not get an extreme rent increase because the apartment in under Rent Stabilization. That protection doesn't come as a surprise at the end a lease. It is the first consideration when people start their hunt for an apartment in this City.

    When I was moving here, I had the SAME EXACT problem lol. Living near Hudson Yards definitely removes the neighborly feel that you can find in places like West Village but you literally can't beat a NEW building with INCREDIBLE views... that's why I chose to move near Hudson Yards and tbh... traveling down to East Village or around there to go out isn't that bad for me.

    Two things that stood out to me when considered together were your love of walkability and your seeming to view New York City as a good place for this season of life but not for raising a family. Those two spheres may be more related than you might think. If you’re interested, the urbanist CZcams channel Not Just Bikes just recently put out a video about the benefits of raising kids in walkable areas. Granted, just this comment alone makes a ton of assumptions that may or may not be warranted, but just food for thought.

      That makes sense; that combination of things is definitely hard to come by in NYC. Even if you were to live somewhere like Forest Hills or something, you would still have to deal with the cold weather for a majority of the year. So I get it.
