Just walked past a roti spot on Nostrand, where for $100 they will advise you on your immigration status. I think … I think I’m falling for Crown Heights?

For the first time in my life, I’ve started an apartment search in NYC w/o any roomates.

Here are some highlights from day 1:

➡️ $3,500 for 1BR in Crown Heights

➡️ $3,200 for a studio in Clinton Hill

➡️ $2,500 for a 1BR in Flatbush

How can nyc compete w/these prices? pic.twitter.com/Z03lL3EHFN
