Thanks for watching! I forgot to mention in the video but Alaina told me she does not plan to renew her lease. It’s a 1 year fun experience to see what tiny living is like in NYC. I personally think that’s one of the reasons it’s so fun to live here. You can hop around between neighborhoods and try out new living situations all the time!
Well then let us know when the lease is up! What a deal!
Does she have insta 😂
You rock girl!
You can do that anywhere in the country if you rent.
Also check out Alainas youtube czcams.com/channels/05DeAe20bgA_KjZH8hAksA.html
The fact that she thought it was a good idea to get a dog is just criminal
i bet the dog is ok its better than killing the dog at a shelter
And a large dog at that. Not cool. The fool who said ... it’s better than death at a shelter is a real mouth breather. What isn’t better than being euthanized ?? Clown.
Nah replies are tripping 😂😂 that dog is SUFFERING lmao bro locked up all day in a closet that’s so messed up
I hope she goes to work with her dog . If not, she shouldve gotten a hamster.
It's so cruel
I can't believe this doesn't violate housing codes.
It does, but city bleeding for cash and migration issues, nobody cares right now
I am sure more people value a place to live, sleep Vs building codes
@@jacoblas1371 not until a tragedy happens.
NY HOUSING CODES LOL
NYC doesnt really enforce it's laws. There is WAYYYY too many people here to catch everyone (or even 1% of those committing crimes). The infrastructure is VERY suspect in many areas of NYC (been living here in Queens now for 2 years, can't wait to leave back home to California once residency is done, 1 year left baby!)
I am a single mom. I just was approved for a three bedroom townhome. $650. It's an income based place that has been totally renovated. I had been on a waiting list for eight years.
i don’t know you but i’m so happy for you ! congratulations 🎊
congratulations!
Awesome! My taxes are paying for that while I can't afford anything like it but make too much to qualify! So great!
@@NVNYC12 I pay taxes too. I'd be living on my reservation, but I wanted to TRY and make a better life. Sorry to inconvenience you.
@@NVNYC12what a horridly selfish and unreasonable thing to say.
Her: People need less than they think.
The Dog: Oh Really?!
Consider the fact that people in gigantic houses kennel their dogs.
@@jazzminelizabeth I think that wrong too so there’s no need to bring that up when it’s not in the video.
she says this everyday to herself to make sure she doesnt go nuts. because she cant effort shit and acts like she is ok with living like a dog
No they made a good consideration. As long as she let's her dog out, this is clear temporary
If you're living in a building where you have to share a bathroom with the other tenants, you DON'T have an apartment - you have a ROOM.
Corrected
Get some Flips for that shower, and then you good.
You can get some free land in Buffalo, but you got × amount months to build, and it has to be x amount of footage. You have to live in it 5 years before you can sell. If you sale before 5 yrs, you will have to pay for land.
They got rooms for 1400 to over 2000 grand a month these are rooms
And second IF YOU LIVING IN THAT SHIT I GUESS YOU DONT plan on nothing better no fucking way
I really wish people would ask themselves if their home would be good for the dog instead of just asking if the dog would be good for them.
When did shit hole mongrels ever care for anything else but themself? That mongrel is living in this pod because she would be too lazy to handle the responsibility of any more.
Yes, she might think she has a good deal, but it's not right for the dog, I feel so bad for the pup!!!
What dog? Where? I didn’t see a dog the entire video!
@@Thunderscreamer 0:01 on the carpet
@Aphrodite P. Why? It's not like he's sitting in a closet all day, she said she sends her dog to daycare.
I love the efficiency, I hate the reality.
Hi , wow what an interesting video . I am an American living in UK (England) I live in London and live in a 3 bedroom maisonette with my dog Sandy . I work as an Environmental Health Officer , part of my job is to inspect rented properties , your apartment would be considered Unfit for Human Habitation , because of size , no windows , or natural ventilation . Your Landlord would end up in Magistrates Court !
Not having at least one window would make me crazy.
In India they don’t have windows very often. No fresh air
She has a window. In the ceiling.
Right I’m having a panic attack just watching this
I used to live in a dorm room where the only window was to the INSIDE of the food court. The architect who designed the building designed prisons apparently (not a joke). It was so bizarre. You would look out your window and people were drinking coffee at a Dunkin Donuts and eating chicken wings at Chili’s. 😂
NYC is like one huge sardine can. Small spaces and very stinky!!!!!
This is why NYC housing prices will never go down. The demand to able to sleep anywhere in this city is too extreme. Most people work all day or go out all day while spending little time at home, so they wouldn't mind this as a temporary living space. Still, I feel claustrophobic just from watching this video.
I agree. Over 20 years ago I worked in NYC, commuting from my, at the time, huge two-bedroom apartment in New Jersey (which had a ton of closet space, as well as a kitchen, and a living room). A co-worker was going away to Florida, with his wife, and invited me to stay at his tiny NYC apartment and watch his cats. I thought it would be the greatest experience ever, working, playing and living in NYC for a month. ...Sadly, I wasn't cut out for it. The apartment was so small, it depressed me. Now I live in a house, and feel maybe it's too big, even though it's a small house. Everyone is different and you have to find that sweet spot of what works for you. She seems happy, and it's decorated beautifully.
@@BeYounique...Maryanne Yeah for real, I might as well live in my closet if it's that small
"This is why NYC housing prices will never go down"
Housing normally goes up over time. If it's on a downward trend for a long time, that's really bad for that location.... 🙂
A large living space in NYC is pretty much always going to be more expensive than most other places in the world simply because NYC is a desirable place to live. 🙂
I was doing okay with the claustrophobia until they went up to the loft.
I'm from NYC and I never heard of any apartment priced that low in NYC, I don't live there anymore and not saying it's impossible, just saying it's highly unlikely!!! On average maybe you can get one around $900 plus, a very small maybe!!!
Omg I’m having a panic attack from just watching this and how small this space is. I’m so claustrophobic that there is no way I’d ever set foot in there, let alone live there.
That poor dog 😢
Here is clearwater florida a 1 bedroom 750 SF apartment is $2,000 per month. Not including any utilities. I think its high no matter where you live anymore.
Since Biden took over
I’m in Connecticut I rent an 1800 square foot house fully renovated with an acre of property for $ 1450
I’ve built a garden , have all brand new appliances , and freedom of the property
That’s about the same here in Dallas now. I thought I would save more money moving South. The cost of living decrease in salary, along with the rent increases after Covid, don’t add up.
@@dbalexan That is because you moved to a growing city.. you moved to Dallas thinking it would be cheap? LOL
Move to the country and see what happens. It is all about trade offs
The lack of windows gives me serious anxiety. There are prison cells that are nicer than this. People gotta learn that there are a lot of really cool cities outside of NYC and LA.
not really tho
NYC and LA are ass cities, I don't understand why anyone would want to live there in the first place. Only clowns who like paying a fortune for no personal space I guess
@@skatekong58911🧢🧢🧢
LA is a terrible city.
nah they dont need to learn, the people that go to these cities can stay there
People do not realize how insanely cheap $650 a month for MIDTOWN MANHATTAN is.
Outta this world
Different strokes for different folks 🤷🏻♀️
@@acthiebaud True, to each his own!
@@janetyurkin822 Less congestion.
It's insane, considering a 250sq/ft studio can go for $4000 in a co-living arrangement, but I have seen some recently go as low as $1800 for a studio around Central Park West, literally overlooking the park. The location is incredible and the place is modern and clean.
I delivered to this apartment back in the day. It is pretty dope still and pretty small.
hopefully the tenant isnt half brain dead like this lazy slob and brought a dog to live in there all day. poor dude couldnt even lay out completely on the floor. this lady is a gross.
In a decent part of London, lot of people but quiet and with access to loads of transport links, 4 bedroom, front and back garden, and my own parking space £650 a month. Grateful!
What part of London ?
@@micderinn Won't give away too much, but lets say near Islingston.
@@DavidJohnson-dc8lu wow if it’s close to Islington then that’s a bargain
@@micderinn Not bad actually!!
What you aren’t saying is the house is falling apart, there are rats everywhere, and the plumbing is off and on all winter. I know what Hackney is.
I love how she’s making it work, but this shouldn’t even be legal. The fact that there was a fight for this space is totally insane.
Ich finde das nicht würdevoll dort zu leben. Es ist wie eine Kammer weil ja so einiges drin steht. Das Geld was sie verdient hätte sie außerhalb der Stadt besser leben können. Es ist unmenschlich das die Vermieter so viel Geld verlangen für die Miete.
That's late stage capitalism for ya
I agree. I live in NYC, and I don't know how safe this would be in case of a fire or other emergency
I pay 470 for a WHOLE 2 story 3 bedroom 2 bath house in Indiana.
@@lepetitchat123 yeah maybe in a liberal shithole.
I like how people are actually normalizing these very clearly outlandish property prices in the middle of a clearly crumbling economy.
Not surprising when Dems are in office
Insane. I dont get it . I hate the city. Stinks
Well Klaus Schwaab says we will live in ze pod so we will live in ze pod
it's disgusting
@@davekurt1433Nah i am good with my Florida home and open space with fresh air
Thank you for the insight
wow , thanks for sharing .... This is even smaller than my Hong Kong little flat back the 90s !!!!!!!!! Looks cozy though .
I really feel bad for the dog being confined in this tiny space just because you want to downsize doesn't mean the dog has to suffer 😢
Misery loves company
Not to mention that she's probably gone 12hrs. per day between work and social life....poor dog.
@@chadster7547 did anyone watch the video. She takes him to doggy daycare. 🙄
@@rodrigbl1114 not all the time she said she leaves him in the apartment sometimes
Well, I have a whole house and my dog chooses to sleep in my bedroom.dogs don't require rooms...people do!
In case anyone was wondering; this apartment is for sale on Craigslist. Except now the price is $1050/month.
Jeez people are idiots if they pay $1050 for this closet but guess biden caused everything to rise
Wtf… 😅
Wow. That's crazy. The ceiling alone is a no for me.😮
Rip off.
💀
Honestly, she can get a bigger place in Brooklyn if she looks around. Public transportation is not that bad as they say it is. There are plenty of good neighborhoods in Brooklyn where you won't have issues using the subway going to midtown.
I love these small apartments. They are the best.
It literally is a walk in closet. She utilized her space extremely well👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
Seriously
@CALEB SIMPSON people live in tiny homes and tiny homes look like nyc apartments
I will get a interior designer
It's the size of my walk in closet and I sure did not utilize my space well. I feel ashamed
1 fart though in there and it's over!
I can’t stop thinking about the poor dog in such a small space!! :(
Right!? He basically lives in a crate 🥺
I think the opposite hes with her , hed be in a kennel if not . She must be a good person when your dog really loves you and you love him , youl make It work.
@@SandraGarcia-lj3bd ? Or perhaps he could be in a home with a yard and children to play with!?
@@beverlywilliams7278 grow Up , you can tell a man pays your bills
@@SandraGarcia-lj3bd tienes tara, pero no lo sabes.
Props to her for finding a place so small and cheap in NYC. Ive been to NYC a few times and i honestly dont know how people are happy living there. I'm from the Midwest and I had an apartment that was at least 450sq ft and it only costed me $440 per month. A tiny place but makes it feel spacious if you compare it to this place!
Costed?
@@jeanniemainzer8551 she only speaks viking.
Props??? With the dog??? Alone she can sleep standing for as much as I care but the dog … no. This is abusing of an animal
How does air get in there?!
Getting a dog while living in this microscopic apartment sounds like an absolutely genius idea
She was in a large apartment before moving to this one. She didn’t get one randomly after moving there. She said she takes her dog to daycare and she has not renewed her lease. Dog is fine.
@@biancamichelle11 still, not optimal by far
Living in this prison cell is the number 1 "genius idea"
also pretty bad to do to an animal
You really think that makes it okay? You need to check yourself. That dog obviously isn't in the dog day care 100% of the time. This is literally animal abuse at this point I don't care how you try and sugarcoat it.@@biancamichelle11
the fact that there is no window is a huge deal breaker. not only is that a huge safety concern (mainly fire hazard), but I think I’d legitimately go insane. and the fact that there’s like a 3 foot gap between the bed and the ceiling makes me anxious and claustrophobic just watching this video. otherwise, I think it’s actually a pretty solid spot for the price and location. I do agree with her in that when I lived in NYC from 2014-2015, I realized that I really didn’t need much in terms of living space. props to her for making it work.
don't worry: she's constantly out of home, "living the buzzing city life"
Yeah a source of natural light is a biggie.
There was a big skylight which I assume let's fresh air in.
I think it's actually illegal to not have a window in an appartment
@@mchlle94 considering that's not a human living in it, that'd be ok
Such a succinct space!🎉❤
Also I'm never complaining about my studio apartment i just moved into. Its funny each place is getting smaller and smaller. Went from a 1 bedroom loft. Very big and spacious to a 2nd floor of a 2 family house to a studio apartment.
I was like “yeah. I could do this! That’s really cute.” Until I saw the bed area. I started to hyperventilate.
Same I would sleep on the sofa bed.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, I felt that too.
That and the bathroom situation. I’ve already had my communal bathroom experience and I would never do it again.
I would be worried about hitting my head just getting up.
Is it even legal to classify something this small as an apartment?!
You should see what people in Hong Kong live in!
@@markflierl1624 it is not contradictory to be illegal or al least, legal but unhuman.
Is it an apartment if there's no window?
@@jackb1969 yes a window is not mandatory lol
@@ronm3034 really??? Here in the south, if a room does not have a window you can not list that room as a bedroom
Its worth the rent just for the rooftop view😍
I rent something smaller in LA, no windows, minimal ventilation. I have to open the door to make an ac unit work. I just could fit a bunk bed so the ceiling clearance feels a bit better than that. I think is better than an RV , but After 2 years I can say it is affecting my mental health .
wtf are you doing in LA living like that tho
Please you need to leave and find an alternative. Your mental health is extremely important.
My claustrophobia hit the roof when we get to her bed. So little space between the ceiling and her bed. It must feel like sleeping in a coffin. I salute these people and their resilience for making it work for them against all the odds.
How did your claustrophobia led you to this title? You pretty much ask for this abuse for your claustrophobia.
i just finished building myself a loft bed, with an underside desk area. I made it as tall as possible at first so i could cut it down once i could feel what the spaces felt like on top and bottom. The top was pretty much what she had here.
It didn't feel too bad, i could lay on my side and have a fist size gap to the ceiling, Though for her bed it seems more cluttered and closed in, but mines a big double bed with no clutter and good lighting, completely open on two sides with the foot end getting a view of the rest of the room, and out of a window. So hers definitely looks like it feels more cramped, dark, closed in on all sides, but if its cosy then a space that small can work for some people. I could have probably lived with it being that high, but the underside was needlessly roomy, so i cut it down an extra 15cm so both sides have a good middle ground.
My first thought was the legality of this "apartment". If there were a fire could she get out via that ceiling window looking situation?
Literally thought the exact same thing. The bed was like a coffin!
@@mtl674I know in Canada that there should be a window.
She lives in a U-Haul storage unit. $650 sounds like a bargain until we realize that this same space costs roughly from $80-$120 per month at most storage facilities.
LMMFAO!!!!!!
Well....check this out. So-called 'millionaires' live like paupers in NYC...no more than one person can walk down a hallway at a time and Murphys are quite common in NYC apartments.
in no place other than NYC is this a "bargain" lmfao.
Can you take a sh!t in a uhaul unit? No electricity either. The heck are you smoking? Lol.
@@doomdude69 there's no bathroom in there either.
You’ll be back there after the vid 😂 that bed actually looks pretty cozy
I’m in the UK. I live just outside a fairly major city. I pay £650 a month for a three bedroom/1 bathroom house with a fairly large garden. Full kitchen and conservatory. I cannot understand why anyone would want to live in NY in these tiny apartments.
Because it's NYC, and not outside of fairly major city in the UK...
Because a lot of people in the U.S are f**** in the head! Lol that's the most simple answer I can think of 😂 . $650 a month is more than my property tax on my 5 bedroom 2 bath house on the beautiful Northside of Chicago
@Oozy9Millimeetah lol jokes on you. London has more people than NYC. 😂😂
@@johnnymichael1804 i highly doubt she was referring to London with "fairly major city" and yeah it must be so nice to have middle-eastern population boost in London 🤦🏻♂️

My claustrophobia and anxiety could never. Just watching you both on the bed made me want to hyperventilate lol.
Me too!!!
I feel trapped watching this shit then she adds a dog
Mee too
Imagine waking up to a stranger or a burglar at the foot of the bed or a random person you hooked up right near to you with hyperventilating 😆 🤣 😂
@@bign1667 🤣 I have nocturnal panic attacks and jump out of bed when they happen. I would put myself in a coma the first time!
In Germany we fortunately have laws that forbid single apartments under 97 square feet.

97 sq ft is fricken ridiculous.
Anything below 300 sq ft should be criminal.

For $625 per month in North Texas I have a little apartment/unit in a house with a room that doubles as my living room, kitchen (no appliances or washer/dryer), and a bathroom. My friend lives right across from me and we have a lot in the backyard where we lay in the grass or throw around frisbees/football.
Our downtown/ nightlife area is a 5-10 minute walk.
Living without appliances is annoying but I am grateful to pay so little and have all of this!
5:37 the smoke alarm batteries lol
She pays almost as much for an apartment the size of my closet, as I do for my house. It honestly makes me grateful. There’s no way I could live in a space so small.

@@zacster90 lol I’m not putting my city info out there, but I live in Kentucky in an 1800 square foot house, built in 2005 with an acre of land. Our second home, 2400 square feet, we built in 2007 and the payment for 15 years was 1160 with 20 acres of farmland.
@@lace1245 you can't compare what you paid for a house 17-19 years ago to what people pay now. Obviously it's going to be waaaay cheaper. Houses back then in my city cost like 48k and are now worth 200k+ today
@@OhhGeeskii I didn’t build the house I just bought. I said the second one was built in 2005. I purchased it in 2017.
Go back and look at rental property costs in New York City for those years. You do realize that costs rise and fall country-wide, correct? My home in 2005 would’ve still been comparable to the cost of homes in New York in 2005. It just would’ve been far, far cheaper than anything in New York. Same as today.
If it makes you feel better, I looked into a cash-out refinance option for my home last week. I opted out, but the payment to refinance and borrow $25,000 to make upgrades would’ve put me at $770 a month. So there’s your “today” payment.
Awww I love that she takes her dog to daycare sometimes. They tend to lay around all day but I can’t imagine him being in that small space for too long without anywhere to really go.
I was thinking the same thing.
I was worried about especially with the size
she shouldnt even have a dog with that little space.
It should seriously be illegal for someone to own a dog in that small of a space.
@@strawberrie6491 Agreed. It's a big dog that can barely turn around in that room. Can't go upstairs to her bed, can't go on the roof for air or to play around. Wtf was she thinking bringing a dog that size into that perpetual cage?
They have good chemistry 🥰
The thumbnail was CRAZY
We need to have laws against apartments or "houses" this small. People deserve to have a decent kind of life, and that involves a decent place to live.
Make better choices and pay our own way, otherwise accept what you are given.
We need to stop apartment rent sky high costs. She is in a closet for 650 per month. Over pricing is the core of the problem.
Not in NY. People will pay anything just to live in a lil shoebox, like this woman. But rent is not the problem in NY, just the crazy taxes n living expenses are. Taxes have become unbearable so landlords are raising the rents to even higher prices. Bad policies in NY has made everything terrible, though I blame the politicians n not the landlords who are just trying to get by too.
check my page to see where I moved next 🎉
That's a great idea, but there's the issue that this is the only thing some people can afford. It'd basically just be removing the only place some people can reasonably live except for a cardboard box. If people having a decent life is the goal, you want to change minimum wage, housing, and tax laws.
I love NY, completely understand sacrificing space for convenience/location, and to each their own but we honestly have to have a conversation about the diminishing utility and livability of our cities. There comes a point of too dense/too small and if this isn't it, it's definitely close.
Exactly my point!
I think it’s a great place to visit but I don’t see how u guys can live like that it seems crazy
THIS!!!!! City government greed, landlord greed
No diffent than Italy or india
it’s worse in asia (hong kong I think), it’s not that bad actually
If I were a young, single male and trying to get my footing in the city I could do that if I had to. Only thing for me is I wouldn’t sleep upstairs. I would use it for storage. Having the ceiling that close to my face right above me would give me anxiety (and I’m not an anxious person). I would use it for my storage and personal belongings.
Feeling for the dog, for real. She probably thinks she's so eccentric and zany for making such a choice of living space too.
Animal abuse

How is that legal without a escape route? Isn’t it illegal not to have a window?!
Who cares if some mongrels burn? THere's millions of them and they all look the fucking sameXD
The amount of cases in nyc apartments they would lose like 40% of the population
In AZ it is illegal to call a room without a window a “bedroom”. They refer to them as dens. It’s against fire code to have a room without a window as a bedroom
@@melissalee6052 Also, in Arizona, you can't call it a bedroom without a closet.
Exactly, in Florida my condo has a window in the way of installing proper kitchen cabinets for this reason.

Videos like this legit makes me think it's much better to just save the money to buy either a RV or even a trailer and live in there. There's actually more space in RVs and trailer homes and you save much more money too.
The fact that people live here because they think its "cool" and not because they can't afford anything else is ridiculous. No one should be living like this period. This is what a lot of people in Hong Kong live like and its not a good look on humanity. The fact is: this apartment is likely owned by a billionaire real developer milking every last penny while people struggle in his/her run down apartment, they live in a big mansion.
I will never understand why people feel New York is the best place to live. The tiny apartments are one thing, but they were completely casual about the fact there were rats, and how nowhere in NY is safe from them. Mind-blowing.
NYC is extremely walkable and diverse is why
@@GeneralPuppet you forgot rude, stressful, and actually pretty awful 👍
@Sean Gordon AGREED. I vacationed their 2 years ago and it was really fun but i could already feel the stress from everything by the 3rd day. The place is too much. Creepy homeless dudes jacking off in the subway & shady bouroughs all around.
New York must be good if people are willing to live in tiny boxes to be there
When life deals you rats, you learn to make rat stew.
How do You new yorkers live in the closets? Like, my flat is 40 sqm and it is considered small where i live.
The bed wall part looks like it is giving way/sinking 😮
As much I am glad that someone found an affordable place in NY, it should not be legal to rent out a closet space as a living space to someone. It honestly makes me furious. Well done on making the most of this small space though!
actually is impossible to find this kind of apartment in midtown this one must be the only one of the kind.
I 100% agree with you. It’s Wrong and Shameful!!
Affordable housing and homelessness is a bit bigger of the issue rather than someone choosing to save 2,600 a month. You aren’t living in reality. This is how people stack money to afford a down payment on a house you gotta be willing to make sacrifices to get ahead. I agree that it’s not ideal.
My friend, you've obviously never been to Japan.
So you'd rather force her to spend $2,000 extra a month because it's a smaller space than you'd like to live in?
Definitely takes a certain level of mental strength to live in something like this. I just feel like I would be claustrophobic in there especially in the bedroom 😂
I just realized...if that stove catches fire while she's asleep and it reaches the stairs before she wakes up, that could be a wrap for her. Garbage apartment
@@imakeepitreal7313 odds are in a space like that you’d pay extra attention for stuff like that, also being so close to a fire would definitely wake you up in time, but you right still hella dangerous really
Yeah watching this video gave me like a mini panic attack, like dead ass. Imagine if I lived there, hell no! I rather move in an apt and have a bunch of roommates so I can save up $. Or just live right next door in Jersey.
No stove in that apartment but I could never settle for such a claustrophobic space
Her bedroom is like a coffin.
When I stayed in China town, my hotel room was a walk in closet. The bathroom and shower were shared. I thought it was cozy for just me. It was only $50 a night. Holiday in was $250 a night. I scored.
I wish LA had tiny space like that, the micro studion in downtown go for 2500!
I can’t be the only one who noticed the chemistry between these two lol
Right same haha
I was going to write the same exact thing... they had great chemistry and would make an adorable couple
This is the comment I was searching for. Haha
She’s hella chill and seems likable
Totally, I was laughing so hard when he took her shoes off.
The fact someone can make a closet an apartment is criminal.
It's ewe ( Puke ) York what can you expect.
Criminal to charge that much for a closet
I’d honestly not mind it, especially for that price.
People want to rent it. They aren't forcing anyone to live there.
This is how the 1% want us to live. We need to reject this kind of living forreal. Set our standards!
2,000 sq ft on 3 acres, Built in 2001 : $638 month for my mortgage .
It’s a nice starter apartment for a young student/ or someone who’s moving soon .
Heartbreaking to see that the dog has to likely stay there all day in a tiny cramped apartment
She takes to doggy daycare if you watched the whole video
You actually worry more for the dog than the human. You people are pathetic I swear. 😭
@@kamceydrew2182 I feel bad for both
@@kamceydrew2182 because some people should know better. If you can't afford to rent a normal sized apartment, why own a dog that will cost you more money? Owning a dog ain't exactly cheap and vets bills are high especially here in NYC
Seriously. She says she goes up to the rooftop when working from home because it gets claustrophobic..but the dog can stay there?
She works from home 3 days a week in that crammed window-less space?! I’d suffocate
I had to hit pause when they showed the bedroom as I felt claustrophobic. 😊
Seeing this reminds me of the pain on my lower back and I don't understand why
They compared it to a dorm, but I've never even seen a dorm that small. Also I can't imagine I'd be comfortable sleeping in a space with the ceiling inches above my face.
The bed would make me feel like I was in a coffin
My dorm room my second year of college was smaller than this😅
I couldn't sleep there, I am extremely claustrophobic. It would be like sleeping in a MRI machine but without the noise!
Yo are you kidding, i would slam my fAce pn the ceiling thinging im a
waking up late at least 3 times a week. Thqt beimg said i 10/10 would pqy 650 a month xfor this spot in midtown.
this is common in 3rd world countries but instead they have a private toilet but shared kitchen. you wouldnt want to cook with such poor ventilation.
Aww I hope that pup gets a lot of outdoor time
was thinking the same. Its like being caged up all day
@@sdunn0417 Animal cruelty, IMO.
She obviously love her dog it even has dog day care.......I love her dog.omg
Nobody asked. man that ain't yo dog it ain't none yall business y'all be caring for dogs more than y'all own selves.
@@sdunn0417 let's see here.
1:12 the dog wags its tail slowly with the energy of Joe Biden, implying it's chill, not thinking too much, and not hyperactive. It's also off the street and being fed. But that's not enough for you, is it?
5:26 Owner says it sometimes goes to doggy daycare for a change of environment. Probably to help avoid coming home to a closet-sized apartment reeking of dogshit.
Wow, very cool!
Something about her apartment just seems so oddly satisfying. I would definitely live in a place like that. I'm introverted asf😅
same
It's insane and it has to be illegal to rent something so small!! Am I the only who doesn't understand how can people live like this only to say "yes, I live in Manhattan!"?? 🤷🏻♀️
Welcome to NYC. I pay 8 time more than her to have 3 bedroom 2 bathroom in NYC. For single person who only can have 800 bugget for the rent when they income only have 3000-4000 after tax in New York City. Who don't like big space, NYC living is not easy.
It must be illegal. I saw no window for escape in case of fire.
Actually insane, idk how anyone could be okay with living like that.
Yeah, pretty sure it is. Looks like it is breaking fire code and probably other codes. However, it seems like the enforcement is loose and the demand will always be there, so landlords can continue to get away with it.
@@jianpingzhuo294 understood, but she said she doesn't want to live in Brooklyn for example, it's insane!! And we'll, if you can't afford it, don't do it!!! I don't buy a Mercedes if after I can't buy a meal!! But "oh gosh, I've a damn Mercedes!!"
I live in the Bronx here in NYC. I could absolutely never live in something like this, no matter how cheap it is. No windows, bathroom down the hall and ceiling too close to the bed. I could see how some folks can deal with this when trying to save but my mental health would deteriorate so quickly in this room.
Totally agree, personnally it would cost me more on my mental health
The No windows, a huge problem. The bed and ceiling inches above resembled a casket . A hard swallow
@@alpappalardi7044 and it must be so hot during the summer
This is actually illegal. You can’t have people sleeping in an area without windows.
@@Jennifer-fk8kb greed
Easy to clean small space ❤
Yeah so easy and clean. The mice living there are just private cleaning staff. Nothing to see here...❤
The Apollo command module was bigger!
I don't know if I could live in a place this small just because I think the bed being that close to the ceiling would freak me out. However, living in a smaller space honestly helps cut things back and encourages me to simplify what I own, and realize what I genuinely need and care about.
Yeah I would be sleeping on the couch that bed is ridiculous I wouldn't even go up there honestly.
I live in Brooklyn and my half of the rent is 600. I have the top floor of a house, ,my bedroom alone is 2x the size of her apt. my room is 10 x 16.
Exactly. I was thinking about it at 1st like yeah, I may can do it...but now thinking about it..that bed so close to the ceiling...nah, I can't do that. I would be hella uncomfortable every time I'm up there.
@@jobywills3619 Exactly. Same
@@mebenn15 Nice!
The fact that her appartment is smaller than my bedroom is really making rethink how i utulize my space.
Size of my closet.
Okay, probably an unpopular opinion here but I would really enjoy this space if I were a single guy with no pets. If it included a private restroom, it's all I'd need. Although I'd pay more like $200-$300/month, not the $1050/month as currently listed😂
Ok guys. In Spanish village on the coast (and Spain is literally maid of villages not cities) were there are no job, actually, except for the season low paid jobs (1000-1200 euro per month) that least 6 months a yaer. An average renting a 1 bdr apartment is about 600-650 euro per month. But here comes another problem - for this crazy money it's very difficult to find smt 'cos 90% of accomodations are for rent at high season. You can see announcements like 'for rent from October till May'. Were tf you shoud live the rest of the year ?...
Great idea to have a dog. Sure he's super happy there. Lives his whole life in a box then goes outside to a concrete jungle. Smart
Dog people can be so selfish and thoughtless
Seriously - why do people do that to animals. Hell - the dog probably had MORE room in the pound.
@@insynthesiswithinfiniteis2318 Yes, totally agree!!!
It’s a 6 month lease, she said it in the video. She doesn’t plan on staying forever. It isn’t ideal, but as long as the dog gets plenty of time outside it isn’t the worst thing for a few months and is better than having to be put down.
@@hannahb2306 Being "better than having to be put down" in no way makes this selfish, thoughtless, behavior acceptable.
This is straight up animal abuse. This woman should never be allowed to own a pet again.
