New York Sacrifices

It has been a while since I have updated about my happenings in New York. The apartment hunt is exhausting. It's more hectic than buying a home in Florida. Apartment hunting in Florida is sooooo cake. You have a floor plan and an organized folder of everything, plus amenities like pools. Not to mention southern hospitality, although being straight forward is my kind of thing. Hence, my liking for text messaging more than conversations on the phone sometimes. I have also realized here that 90% of building are owned by the Orthodox Jewish Community. You know, those guys with the curly sideburns? Below are the countless bathrooms, bedrooms, and living rooms we looked at. We went through at least 10 brokers and hours upon hours of negotiations with landlords. Amidst the small bathroom, closets, and small living of space we still love New York. We still want to be here. We have a story. A New York story of struggling. A new post will be soon updated with our apartment we picked!
