Looking for a place to stay in Brooklyn is a tedious task. But if the reason for finding an apartment is the budget cap, then one has an enormous thing to hurdle.
One classic example of someone hunting a new pad or apartment is Jesse Lehrich. He will work as a volunteer of Hilary Clinton. When this guy learned that Mrs. Clinton is running for a presidential candidacy, he moved to New York hoping he would get a chance to work as a staff.
Obviously, like it usually happened, he didn't have a place to stay right away. So he crashed in his brother's one-bedroom house in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. It was a temporary stay because his brother told him that his moving in with him is not a long-term solution.
Ultimately, he has found his own place at East Village Apartment. His monthly rent is $1,700 and is sharing it with 3 roommates. His room doesn't have a window, but he doesn't mind because all he would be doing while in New York is to work and sleep.
As an observation for so many decades now that young professionals like Jesse Lehrich have turned away from a more stable that rewards employees with a higher pay. They rather pursue the job of being a member of the staff of a politician. In the case of the staff who signed up as volunteers of Clinton, these people are faced with an overwhelming complication: the real estate market in New York City.
Unlike the supporter housing that staffers get if they are staying in Iowa and New Hampshire, New York obviously is a bit expensive when it comes to cost of living. "Mrs. Clinton's campaign prides itself on living on the cheap and keeping salaries low, which is good for its own bottom line, but difficult for those who need to pay New York City rents." That reality certainly puts Jesse Lehrich in a tight spot.
NY Times has observed that many of the volunteers thought that they would get cheaper prices. They have to know the average of Brooklyn now has increased to 4.3%. Thus according to the president of the appraisal firm Miller Samuel, the neighborhood nearby the headquarters of Clinton has the most expensive rent in the borough.
In that case, Jesse Lehrich has left with no choice but at East Village Apartment and share his place with 3 people.
