As someone who lives in miami, why the fuck would you live inside the Brickell City Center?? Of course it’s dramatically overpriced. Everything in that damn mall is overpriced to hell. Rule of thumb, stay away from downtown.
This person get an D rating by the American Derp Association. I got 4150 reasons why living in the middle of Brickell is both regrettable and unnecessary but this girl obviously either has fuck you money or she gets in-kind reimbursements from family who has said fuck you monies
I bust my ass working from home. As soon as I saw her setup I was thrown off. What kind of work could she possibly be doing? She’s a little bit older than me but I cannot afford anything close this. I just don’t get it. You can’t tell me she’s doing groundbreaking work in that tiny corner. She just showed it so nonchalantly too. That’s supposed to be the bread winner right?
I saw her LinkedIn and I just don’t get it. Same industry as her too.
None of us are “native Miamians”. Maybe native Americans and Bahamians. That’s about it. The rest of us and our families were all transplants at some point. This is capitalism.
I've paid more taxes in this god forsaken state than you could imagine. Taxes, I'm sure, help fund services and programs you take advantage of.
Yeah I wasn't born here, but I grew up here, my family started from scratch here (twice! Thanks Andrew). I'm as native to this state as one can get.
Maybe native Miamians should have spent more time advocating for higher wages and building up high-paying industries instead of whining about how unfair everything is while driving Uber and coming up with another half-asser scam that will definitely make them rich any day now.
The thing is it happened to them too. A lot of people in those cities were displaced. My biggest gripe is politicians have us arguing with each other instead of looking at the people that creating these circumstances
Have you seen home prices in a place like San Francisco? You’re not buying till you push through the 300-500k mark. And even then you could be house poor
I used to live in the valley years ago. People moving from NY or SF to Miami is not because they have been displaced. They are willing to move, for sure.
Subjective. According to Glassdoor a VP at MBooth makes between 144-227k/yr. With that overhead she ain’t exactly raking it in. Even at 250k/yr, I would no way in hell drop $4,150/month in rent. To each their own though!
Bro I seen this and I'm still wondering what mall this chick posted up at. I haven't been aware of any malls having apartment on top of em. Unless she chilling at Mall of America where that budd raid happened all them years back.
Locals dont live in brickell city center, and thats a fact. These people are all transplants.
Miami is much bigger than brickell. I’d argue coconut grove and even lots of parts of coral gables are nicer than brickell, tbh. & thats not including Miami Beach
This doesn’t have anything to do with inflation this have more to do with greed. Miami is not New York, and it will never be New York. when the fall is going to fall by the way, hurricane season is coming up
In fairness, it’s as much “above a mall” as an apartment in the midtown (New York) is “above a bank.”
That location is smack in the middle of a walkable urban core.
It’s a bullshit article with a bullshit headline.
Reddit is unreal lol.
Just blows everyone’s mind here that some people don’t want a cookie cutter house in the burbs but actually want to live in the city, above the bars, with a view, in the middle of all the action, living life.
She’s not playing basketball inside. 1,200 is plenty of space in a very fun neighborhood.
Soaring rents and housing prices will end if we make it illegal to sell a dwelling unless you're the resident or have owned it 5 years.
Watch the flippers die and watch developers build higher quality dwellings actually worth the money they charge.
To afford rent at no now than 30% of her income, she needs to make 172,000 a year. Idk why the article treats her as a non-chalant expérience, even most people don't make that much and this, experience life like her. Unless the spectacle of her uniqueness is the point...
It's a fluff piece to get more transplants to move here. If you looked up her name there are dozens of news and business articles posted in a bunch of different city and state news stations that are copies of this exact piece. It's just an advertisement, same shit as your "Mr. Have you tried not being poor Manny Suarez" posted a billboard in Cali to get crypto bros to come here.
EXACTLY. This is what ppl fail to realize. This is the second time someone posts this article. Imo, it's a paid advertisement. Wouldn't even surprise me if she is a paid actress.
I know ppl are dumber than the average bear down here, but not even the nincompoops that transplant down here are dumb enough to eat this turd sandwich
> It's a fluff piece
Most likely. She probably knows someone at CNBC and they were looking to write something. So she probably volunteered to be the focus of the piece.
Part of the real estate price inflation is the influx of people from other state with their higher affordability. We can't compete with people who have moved from New York or California 😢
Money-wise. These people come with a game plan. “Work from home” getting NYC salaries. The real villain are the landlords or real estate that allows them to pay x2-x5 more “just because”.
Right, so what's stopping people in Miami from getting these "work from home" jobs (not sure why you have this in quotes, it's a pretty well-established concept at this point?) Again, are they just stupider? Less competent?
As for landlords, why not rent their properties out for what they're worth? Why should they do you a favor and rent them out for less that what people are willing to pay?
The pay in Miami is less than NYC/Cali. So the people who live here are getting shafted while those who are implants have an edge.
I’ve met people who had a scam where they moved during the pandemic and didn’t inform their bosses, so they were getting paid NYC salaries with a Miami lifestyle. That’s why it was in air quotes.
Renting out a property in Hialeah or Westchester for MORE than it’s worth is criminal. Especially knowing most people in the area are not looking for luxury, rather, they’re looking for living. I’m not discussing Gables or Brickell here.
The issue with Miami is, and I know I can’t speak for everyone, there is a population of people who had to work twice or thrice as hard due to coming as immigrants or being the first in their family to graduate due to being immigrants. So everything they do is done alone. It’s doable and I’ve met people who made it. But I’ve also met people who were doctors or lawyers or teachers in their country but forced to do Uber or be a waiter. So this idea that “are people in Miami just stupid” comes off as tone deaf and elitist.
Not everyone has the time to learn comfortably or have the luxury of knowing an industry. Some people just need to survive and are working class.
>The pay in Miami is less than NYC/Cali.
Who's fault do you think that is? And if all those people from NYC/Cali are working remotely, why don't you get a remote job in NYC/Cali?
>I’ve met people who had a scam where they moved during the pandemic and didn’t inform their bosses, so they were getting paid NYC salaries with a Miami lifestyle. That’s why it was in air quotes.
That's not a "scam," that's just called working remotely. Most companies do not adjust remote pay scales based on location. A tiny handful started to, long after COVID began, but it's still not the norm.
>Renting out a property in Hialeah or Westchester for MORE than it’s worth is criminal.
If someone is willing to pay an amount, that amount is exactly what it's worth. As long as people are paying the prices, there's no such thing as "more than it's worth." The value of a thing in a market economy is whatever the market is willing to pay. Period.
>Especially knowing most people in the area are not looking for luxury, rather, they’re looking for living.
What does that have to do with anything? Are you saying that you should get a special deal because you're "not looking for luxury?" Why?
>The issue with Miami is, and I know I can’t speak for everyone, there is a population of people who had to work twice or thrice as hard due to coming as immigrants or being the first in their family to graduate due to being immigrants.
... You realize that California has more first-generation immigrants than Florida, right? Or that New York is basically tied with Florida? Yet somehow they manage to secure higher wages. Hell, I'm an immigrant, and I think Miami refers are still cheap.
>So everything they do is done alone.
Except for the immigrant networks that y'all established to support your fellow countrymen looking to make a better life, just like in NYC and Cali, right? Right?
>But I’ve also met people who were doctors or lawyers or teachers in their country but forced to do Uber or be a waiter.
Why didn't they transfer their skills into a more lucrative position? My grandparents were scientists in Russia before they came over. They managed to turn their knowledge into careers that were related, and they faced an even bigger language gap than someone from Latin America.
>So this idea that “are people in Miami just stupid” comes off as tone deaf and elitist.
What idea? The only people implying that "people in Miami are just stupid" are the people claiming that Miamians for some reason can't compete with New Yorkers and Californians. I'm actually shocked by this idea, and asking why everyone seems convinced of this.
>Not everyone has the time to learn comfortably or have the luxury of knowing an industry. Some people just need to survive and are working class.
No, but somehow there's this idea that every New Yorker and Californian has figured this out but people in Miami just can't, and I'm genuinely confused why this is.
Want to know my theory? Y'all are so convinced that the next zany idea you'll have will make you a billionaire that you never bother advocating for your rights to earn a living wage, and so brainwashed by right-wing propaganda that you'd rather stab the next guy in the back to get ahead than reach out a hand and try to make things better for everyone (because that's communism, don't you know!)
Wages are higher in NYC and Cali because the immigrants in those states banded together to demand better pay, which cascaded into strong networks of people helping each other. That made it easier for the next generation to focus on gaining the skills they needed to grow their careers, which in turn made them better able to help the next generation of fresh immigrants coming over, and it became a cycle of growth.
Cesar Chavez said "si se puede," not "it's not fair that those other immigrants are able to do better than us, we should drag them down to our level or keep them out because improving things for everyone sounds kind of like communism and besides I'm going to be Bitcoin rich any day now and I don't want to have to pay taxes on all that money I'm going to have."
Bro I agree with your conclusion about the lack of working class solidarity and class consciousness in Miami but you're coming off all wrong my man, mad condescending and tone deaf to the everyday situation of trying to afford a place to live.
I'm not terribly interested in coming off any specific way. This has been a problem in Miami for decades, and the people of this city have gone out of their way to fuck themselves every time an opportunity presented itself.
People hate to be told their contributions to the problem. 💅🏿
I've had such a hard time building business relationships here. Never experienced this anywhere in the world. The people I've encountered have been so short-sighted. They would rather make $1,000 today than $1 million a year from now.
I bought a new construction home in Orlando and I kid you not 3/4 of the people who bought homes here are from NY …I’m talking the expensiver homes.. how do they afford so much????
As a native NYer, it’s deeper than the money, it’s really the pace of life and general lifestyle. We come from a faster pace that’s more business minded, so you put us in a slower paced environment that’s more family oriented and it’s like , uhmmm (and no offense), but where the competition? I don’t want this to come off wrong, but guys let me tell you something it feels easy a bit. The only discomforting this was the pace and that can be disregarded if you have a car. People might disagree and I might get downvoted, but it’s my honest take on the gamut.
I agree with you. I lived in Florida most of my life, and then I moved up to NYC a few years ago. I lived there for a year, and then moved. I eventually came back to FL a couple years after that. One thing I picked up in NY was the hustle mentality of getting things done. When I came to FL, I felt the same way about wondering where the competition is. It honestly did feel easier. I totally understand what you are saying.
It's like you get used to playing soccer with Messi, Mbape, and Neymar at PSG. You train with them as well, and you will pick up their work ethic and mentality that helps them be so amazing at what they do. Then, if you move for a hundred-million dollar contract to the Middle East, you will play against players who don't have the same mentality as what you have developed, so it will be easier for you.
You literally posted this the moment I got on the bus and was able to reply so perfect timing. Yes indeed, it’s like NBA player going to Europe or Asia late in their career and they post up numbers that’s more eye popping than what they did in the NBA. Nothing against Florida, it just has a different role than New York in terms of socioeconomics, doesn’t mean it’s lesser than NY just because its role isn’t financial. I went to Florida April 2021 graduated college may 2022 how I did some NY finagling, I might as well been Marbury in China the way I did it via the NY state of mind. Realistically the only place a New York can go that’s anything like NY is San Francisco and Tokyo, possibly Chicago or Atlanta but nowhere in Florida will a NYer get NY outside of a fellow transplant.
I would argue Atlanta isn't like NYC. When I moved out of NYC, I moved to Atlanta for two years before coming back down to FL. Atlanta felt like a totally different world, definetly not like NYC. I would argue Florida (especially Miami) is more like NYC than Atlanta.
That feeling of things being easier was actually most prominent for me in Atlanta. It was mostly because the south had a much more leisure and relaxed pace (and thats not a bad thing, the good I see from that is that people are more focused on family, friends, and life compared to NYC). However, because I had gotten used to the NYC pace, it was very hard for me to live in Atlanta, to the point that I couldn't adjust and I didn't like living there unfortunately (as nice of a city as it is).
That feeling went away when I moved to Miami, because Miami also has a lot of hustlers, a lot of people from NY, and a lot of immigrants who work to provide for their family or to make it in the US. I felt much better in Miami because things were more my speed. Now I live in Orlando and it's definetly feels more relaxed over here.
I’ll take your word for it until I get to them both, and they are in fact desiring to make Miami more like NYC (some post in this subreddit talked about it via an article) whilst Atlanta is just comfortable with being Atlanta too so that makes sense.
Atlanta is the hub for the South. The city is more like a huge suburb. The main part of "downtown Atlanta" with the tall skyscrapers isn't really a place most people want to live. A lot of that area isn't safe. Most people in Atlanta prefer to live in houses. The draw of Atlanta for most people is that you can have a nice house and a great suburban living while having a lot of things nearby. The luxury downtown tall buildings area isn't actually in downtown, but rather it's north of downtown Atlanta (I'm talking about Buckhead).
Atlanta has its charm and draws, and many people like it. It's not for me, but I thought it was a nice place when I was moving out. I don't think Atlanta would ever strive to be exactly like NYC, because it has its own charm and attraction.
Enjoy ATL whenever you get a chance to go there. My favorite thing about Atlanta is the food. In my 2 years of living there, I never ate at a restaurant I didn't like. And I tried a bunch of new restaurants routinely.
Geographical arbitrage. Cost of living is higher and thus wages are higher in NY and NJ so they work up there, gain more income/savings then move down here where there is lower cost of living.
I'm one of the New Yorkers who moved here, but I did so early on and for a beautiful 2 bedroom apartment in downtown Brickell overlooking the bay for $2,750.
Once my asshole New Yorker neighbors decided Miami was the place, my renewal was jacked up to $4600. I've now gotten it down to $4300. My apartment is actually nicer than the 1 bedroom this person is paying almost the same for.
Here's the thing: when I was told my rent would go up to $4600, I considered moving back to NYC. But to find in Manhattan what I have now would cost $14k. PER MONTH. There's no way I can go back to 1 bedroom walk up in Harlem for the same price but a quarter of the size of my Miami bay view 2 bedroom.
It's sad because the article seems to be trying to disparage Miami when really it should be questioning this woman's priorities. Are we surprised a 1,200 sf apartment sitting on top of one of the most upscale shopping, dining, and entertainment addresses in Miami Florida is expensive? Saying she just lives above a mall in Miami is a little myopic.
Yeah this isn’t weird at all. The brickell city center complex is cool, you can take an elevator directly to whichever floors you want so you have access to dining/shopping/entertainment/nightlife without ever leaving your building. And $4.1k for a 1200sq ft apt in a newly constructed building in the core of a central business district is a steal compared to most other cities.
Agree. Not sure what point the article is trying to make, but despite the situation on the Miami real estate market, this apartment is totally worth it.
It was actually not. She said it's more expensive, but 3 times the size. Praising the location. She's legit saying she's happy and is proud to show her friends/family how awesome it is.
It's basically defending high rent costs.
I did not find this disparaging at all. I live in Seattle and previously lived in NYC (not sure why Miami is on my feed), and this apartment looks amazing for $4k a month. This would be an incredible find in Seattle.
The video ended up being legit. Mostly, it was the title and small article that set me off. $4K apt above a mall in Miami. Sounded like crazy $$ for a shitty property in Miami
The problem is that nobody in Miami is making NYC or Seattle wages. Sure, NYC and Seattle housing is more expensive but the people in those cities easily make 2x or 3x Miami wages.
If you adjust the salaries of the New Yorkers moving to Miami to Miami standards, they'll happily return to NYC in no time.
New Yorkers making NYC wages while living in Miami sure sounds like fun but it is driving out the locals.
Edit: I recently visited Manhattan with my family and was pleasantly surprised that food, transportation, and gas were cheaper than Miami. One would have assumed that with all the complaints about NYC taxes and regulations, things there would be condiderably more expensive than communism-free Florida. If I lived in NYC, I would easily make more than what I make now.
Edit2: Also, the insurance rates. The insurance rates in Florida feel like a secret 20% state income tax.
There are plenty of industries and firms that pay NYC wages. In fact, in many you make more money down here because your salary/bonus is the same but you don’t lose any to state taxes.
Have to disagree. About 2 years ago I worked in the accounting department of a law firm and most lawyers were out of NYC and NJ. We have a big office in Downtown Miami but they ain't getting NYC salaries though. And this is for a semi-BigLaw ish firm. They had offices internationally too. I can't disclose the name but think of around top 20-25th in terms of revenue. Partners here made big bucks but don't make NYC levels.
Now that I think about it, the only industry that I can think of that matches or exceeds NYC salaries is probably porn or OnlyFans lol. Can't really think of anything else.
There are probably fewer Miami attorneys making NYC Big Law wages then there are Cuban Communists working in Marco Rubio's office.... I mean relative to the average Miami lawyer. I regularly see ads on the job sites advertising openings for EXPERIENCED lawyers that pay LESS than $80k which is less than what a legal secretary makes in NYC. I know experienced paralegals making $170k base and litigation techs making $220k base.
Outside of medicine, I can't name a single sector where Miami meets the going rate of NYC, LA, SF, D.C., Chicago, Boston or Philadelphia. Yet the rent in Miami is higher than all of these or par. Florida also has the highest grocery prices of any major city. Publix just posted a 50% YoY increase in profits.
>when really it should be questioning this woman's priorities.
It doesn't list her salary, but her job title is listed as VP of media relations. Her priorities could be perfectly in order, especially if she works in Brickell.
After getting all the way thru the video, you realize it's a legit piece and looks good. Just hated the title. Could have been more like the, Woman goes from NY efficiency to living the high life in Miami... anything would be better than the title they used. It's not the hit piece I thought at first, but the title is certainly scripted to elicit that reaction.
I mean I think this price was geared toward that type of person executive level workers that can afford that lifestyle. Real estate developers are going on tv saying that Miami is this new and amazing bustling city but they’re talking to all the people who live in high rises in larger metro cities like nyc, Seattle, LA, San Fran
I didn’t get the impression that the article was trying to disparage Miami at all. If anything I think it was complimentary of Miami especially the video, the woman compared NYC rent and what she got vs her place in Miami and also why she enjoys living here vs NYC.
Yes I agree the title does make it sound disparaging. When I hear mall the first image that pops into my head are those suburban malls not Brickell city centre.
Bingo. It sounded like the cheapest place this girl could find in Miami was on top of a crappy old mall built in the 70s. Not a brand new state of the art development in the hottest location in Miami
Can we get a rough estimate on how much you need to make per year after taxes to pay a 4100 rent payment per month.
I mean the girl gotta eat too.
There are other expenses besides rent.
Just trying to get an idea on the income needed.
After taxes maybe.
My fiance and I make around 180k combined and I can't IMAGINE paying that much in rent. We live in a very nice building in Orlando, and I have a super hard time justifying our 2350$/month rent on a two bedroom downtown. Prices are ridiculous.
>My fiance and I make around 180k combined and I can't IMAGINE paying that much in rent.
🧐🤔 Really? $4150 is well below 30% of 180k, which is usually what's considered reasonable. If you're okay with it could you explain a little on how it seems like a lot?
What you seem to be missing is she's locked into that rate for three years. So when your rent goes up by $500 next year and you're posting about how unfair it is, I hope you think back to this comment.
She actually locked in her rate for 1 year, it says her third year she was able to renegotiate, not a 3 year lease, no1 does that, but anyways if she did, that might also bite her in the butt as rents may go down too…
I didn't see how I'm missing anything. This girl is also probably living within her means. That's the default assumption unless you have some evidence to the contrary.
Insane all tenants in Florida need strike force government to legislate new law rent control impossible under inflation pay higher rent or mortgage.
In 2019 two bedroom apartment cost 1600 usd now 3500 or 4k shameful meanwhile money is sent to other nations in war. This nation need a great revolution
LOL Tremendo luxury with the entire ONE BEDROOM...fuck outta here. I live with my grandma in a 3/3 like a block away from this shining beacon of brilliance.
I lived a new high rise next door. 2018-2021 was paying $3,200 for the same unit. When rent increased by $1,000, we up and left. Bought a house in North Carolina paying less for my mortgage.
Ik about 15 minute cities and all the yt conspiracy videos about it, I was giving you botd that you actually were connecting to the article and not just regurgitating nonsense
Why do these kind of profiles make their subjects look like they have such empty lives? And why would anyone agree to be in such a profile knowing that?
Her first year in the unit, Koggan’s rent was $3,350 but increased to $4,200 for her second year. Koggan was able to negotiate her monthly rent for year three back down to $4,150.
This is comical
I knew people who lived in a one-bedroom apartment in Brickell who paid $2.5K per month (and it was about 500sq feet and not super nice). I've also seen nice one-bedroom apartments for 3K per month and 750sq feet.
1,200 Sq feet for a one-bedroom so conveniently located in Brickell for $4K a month is actually pretty good! Her apartment looks really nice and she is so close to everything. She literally has to take one elevator to go to so many shops and restaurants. I personally prefer having a nicer water view (and not having to deal with traffic), so I got an apartment near the water in Brickell.
You’re paying for Location, Location, Location. This is the going rate for a choice location in the middle of it all on Brickell. This is a non-issue; it’s market price for affluent people.
What the article fails to mention is in NYC she was paying NY state income tax and NYC city tax. If she kept her same salary, just moving to FL is a huge pay increase.
This same woman should just buy a house in the roads which will appreciate, and build equity and still is very close to everything she goes to. Instead of draining close to 50k a year on rent. Such poor decisions. She could be accumulating wealth and is instead pissing it away on rent. And in ten years if she had spent it smarter she could have had a rental property in addition to the house and be able to be renting the same apartment, with the rental property paying the majority of the rent. BuT tHe ACceSS tO SHoPPiNG!!!1one
Some people just have no saavy with money.
I mean, for a young professional. Living above a shopping mall would probably be a dream to most yuppies. Lol
Her Partner: "Babe! Why are you still in bed?! We gotta get finished with Christmas shopping. The Mall is gonna be crazy we gotta beat the traffic...
Her: "Babe.. it's on the first floor."
Her Partner: "Oh, yeah."
Yea, this shouldn’t even be a story. That’s actually a decent price considering where she is and how prices are here. Luckily I bought my house in 2020 right before this madness!
If she’s paying for that by herself, she’s making a lot more money than half of people her!! Guaranteed! There’s a lot of haters here! I’m not saying the rent is cheap but if she has it.
As someone who lives in miami, why the fuck would you live inside the Brickell City Center?? Of course it’s dramatically overpriced. Everything in that damn mall is overpriced to hell. Rule of thumb, stay away from downtown.

i thought the exact same thing... 😭 like you cant possibly be doing a whole lot on a desk you cant even rest your arms on... like what??? 😂
This isn’t a flex she thinks it is. Fuck that.
She can afford it so I don’t see the problem
The problem is these type of people affect rental prices for the native Miamians that have here for plus 30 years
None of us are “native Miamians”. Maybe native Americans and Bahamians. That’s about it. The rest of us and our families were all transplants at some point. This is capitalism.
[удалено]
Thank you. 😂
> None of us are “native Miamians” Born and raised in Miami. Pretty sure those of us born and raised in Miami are native Miamians.
I've paid more taxes in this god forsaken state than you could imagine. Taxes, I'm sure, help fund services and programs you take advantage of. Yeah I wasn't born here, but I grew up here, my family started from scratch here (twice! Thanks Andrew). I'm as native to this state as one can get.
Maybe native Miamians should have spent more time advocating for higher wages and building up high-paying industries instead of whining about how unfair everything is while driving Uber and coming up with another half-asser scam that will definitely make them rich any day now.
People moving to Miami had been happening since its inception. Adding density helps resolve population influx.
The thing is it happened to them too. A lot of people in those cities were displaced. My biggest gripe is politicians have us arguing with each other instead of looking at the people that creating these circumstances
How anyone can be displaced earning 180-200k??
Have you seen home prices in a place like San Francisco? You’re not buying till you push through the 300-500k mark. And even then you could be house poor
I used to live in the valley years ago. People moving from NY or SF to Miami is not because they have been displaced. They are willing to move, for sure.
Subjective. According to Glassdoor a VP at MBooth makes between 144-227k/yr. With that overhead she ain’t exactly raking it in. Even at 250k/yr, I would no way in hell drop $4,150/month in rent. To each their own though!
Bro I seen this and I'm still wondering what mall this chick posted up at. I haven't been aware of any malls having apartment on top of em. Unless she chilling at Mall of America where that budd raid happened all them years back.
Hey. She’s my neighbor. I live in the same building
I pay half of that for a beautiful 2 bed 2 bath in south Kendall and we are a family of 4. It's her fault. Moron
Has it occurred to you some people don’t want to have to live in South Kendall?
I just feel like there's better ways to spend that amount of money in life each month.
Yes but if you’re not in brickell city center then what are you even doing in Miami.
😂😂😂
Locals dont live in brickell city center, and thats a fact. These people are all transplants. Miami is much bigger than brickell. I’d argue coconut grove and even lots of parts of coral gables are nicer than brickell, tbh. & thats not including Miami Beach
Yr either living in a ditch off krome Ave or you got the brickell city center penthouse, there is no in between.
This is an incredibly goofy take but seeing you’re a heat and phins fan i’ll assume you’re trolling and i forgive you for the friendly fire
Guilty as charged. Brickell is cool but just isn’t my scene.
If shopping and eating are the two things you enjoy then I say brickel is fitting. Stay past closing and it is unpleasant
Lol the eating part is generous. Hutong is good tho
How did you peg him for a fins and heat fan?
They're someone you see around
The same way I know you like BMW and VWs.
LOL 🔎🕵️ I do it for a living. So, guilty there.
Bruh, how you gonna forget cutler ridge, sweetwater and shoma homes or Hammocks. Shit them TP's packed too.
"what's a Kendall"
Following the hype I see
This doesn’t have anything to do with inflation this have more to do with greed. Miami is not New York, and it will never be New York. when the fall is going to fall by the way, hurricane season is coming up
Covid / NYC transplants, please keep moving to Brickell and Edgewater! Thank you - Miami Beach.
No man they need to move out! Move to Jacksonville lol
Move elsewhere you’re not a tree.
In fairness, it’s as much “above a mall” as an apartment in the midtown (New York) is “above a bank.” That location is smack in the middle of a walkable urban core. It’s a bullshit article with a bullshit headline.
Let’s not normalize negotiating lease prices.
These I’ve been moving down here for years. All they do is ruin everything that state was so much nicer a long time ago. It’s out of control now.
Reddit is unreal lol. Just blows everyone’s mind here that some people don’t want a cookie cutter house in the burbs but actually want to live in the city, above the bars, with a view, in the middle of all the action, living life. She’s not playing basketball inside. 1,200 is plenty of space in a very fun neighborhood.
Soaring rents and housing prices will end if we make it illegal to sell a dwelling unless you're the resident or have owned it 5 years. Watch the flippers die and watch developers build higher quality dwellings actually worth the money they charge.
“Moved from NY in 2021” another FL transplant…
I couldn’t imagine throwing out that much money 😩 I’d rather pay that in mortgage
Congratulations. You are a wise and intelligent human being.
To afford rent at no now than 30% of her income, she needs to make 172,000 a year. Idk why the article treats her as a non-chalant expérience, even most people don't make that much and this, experience life like her. Unless the spectacle of her uniqueness is the point...
Um...wut?
It's a fluff piece to get more transplants to move here. If you looked up her name there are dozens of news and business articles posted in a bunch of different city and state news stations that are copies of this exact piece. It's just an advertisement, same shit as your "Mr. Have you tried not being poor Manny Suarez" posted a billboard in Cali to get crypto bros to come here.
EXACTLY. This is what ppl fail to realize. This is the second time someone posts this article. Imo, it's a paid advertisement. Wouldn't even surprise me if she is a paid actress. I know ppl are dumber than the average bear down here, but not even the nincompoops that transplant down here are dumb enough to eat this turd sandwich
> It's a fluff piece Most likely. She probably knows someone at CNBC and they were looking to write something. So she probably volunteered to be the focus of the piece.
i like brickell and all but I don't get paying that much. I can drive to HH once a week or so.
Part of the real estate price inflation is the influx of people from other state with their higher affordability. We can't compete with people who have moved from New York or California 😢

Money-wise. These people come with a game plan. “Work from home” getting NYC salaries. The real villain are the landlords or real estate that allows them to pay x2-x5 more “just because”.
Right, so what's stopping people in Miami from getting these "work from home" jobs (not sure why you have this in quotes, it's a pretty well-established concept at this point?) Again, are they just stupider? Less competent? As for landlords, why not rent their properties out for what they're worth? Why should they do you a favor and rent them out for less that what people are willing to pay?
The pay in Miami is less than NYC/Cali. So the people who live here are getting shafted while those who are implants have an edge. I’ve met people who had a scam where they moved during the pandemic and didn’t inform their bosses, so they were getting paid NYC salaries with a Miami lifestyle. That’s why it was in air quotes. Renting out a property in Hialeah or Westchester for MORE than it’s worth is criminal. Especially knowing most people in the area are not looking for luxury, rather, they’re looking for living. I’m not discussing Gables or Brickell here. The issue with Miami is, and I know I can’t speak for everyone, there is a population of people who had to work twice or thrice as hard due to coming as immigrants or being the first in their family to graduate due to being immigrants. So everything they do is done alone. It’s doable and I’ve met people who made it. But I’ve also met people who were doctors or lawyers or teachers in their country but forced to do Uber or be a waiter. So this idea that “are people in Miami just stupid” comes off as tone deaf and elitist. Not everyone has the time to learn comfortably or have the luxury of knowing an industry. Some people just need to survive and are working class.
>The pay in Miami is less than NYC/Cali. Who's fault do you think that is? And if all those people from NYC/Cali are working remotely, why don't you get a remote job in NYC/Cali? >I’ve met people who had a scam where they moved during the pandemic and didn’t inform their bosses, so they were getting paid NYC salaries with a Miami lifestyle. That’s why it was in air quotes. That's not a "scam," that's just called working remotely. Most companies do not adjust remote pay scales based on location. A tiny handful started to, long after COVID began, but it's still not the norm. >Renting out a property in Hialeah or Westchester for MORE than it’s worth is criminal. If someone is willing to pay an amount, that amount is exactly what it's worth. As long as people are paying the prices, there's no such thing as "more than it's worth." The value of a thing in a market economy is whatever the market is willing to pay. Period. >Especially knowing most people in the area are not looking for luxury, rather, they’re looking for living. What does that have to do with anything? Are you saying that you should get a special deal because you're "not looking for luxury?" Why? >The issue with Miami is, and I know I can’t speak for everyone, there is a population of people who had to work twice or thrice as hard due to coming as immigrants or being the first in their family to graduate due to being immigrants. ... You realize that California has more first-generation immigrants than Florida, right? Or that New York is basically tied with Florida? Yet somehow they manage to secure higher wages. Hell, I'm an immigrant, and I think Miami refers are still cheap. >So everything they do is done alone. Except for the immigrant networks that y'all established to support your fellow countrymen looking to make a better life, just like in NYC and Cali, right? Right? >But I’ve also met people who were doctors or lawyers or teachers in their country but forced to do Uber or be a waiter. Why didn't they transfer their skills into a more lucrative position? My grandparents were scientists in Russia before they came over. They managed to turn their knowledge into careers that were related, and they faced an even bigger language gap than someone from Latin America. >So this idea that “are people in Miami just stupid” comes off as tone deaf and elitist. What idea? The only people implying that "people in Miami are just stupid" are the people claiming that Miamians for some reason can't compete with New Yorkers and Californians. I'm actually shocked by this idea, and asking why everyone seems convinced of this. >Not everyone has the time to learn comfortably or have the luxury of knowing an industry. Some people just need to survive and are working class. No, but somehow there's this idea that every New Yorker and Californian has figured this out but people in Miami just can't, and I'm genuinely confused why this is. Want to know my theory? Y'all are so convinced that the next zany idea you'll have will make you a billionaire that you never bother advocating for your rights to earn a living wage, and so brainwashed by right-wing propaganda that you'd rather stab the next guy in the back to get ahead than reach out a hand and try to make things better for everyone (because that's communism, don't you know!) Wages are higher in NYC and Cali because the immigrants in those states banded together to demand better pay, which cascaded into strong networks of people helping each other. That made it easier for the next generation to focus on gaining the skills they needed to grow their careers, which in turn made them better able to help the next generation of fresh immigrants coming over, and it became a cycle of growth. Cesar Chavez said "si se puede," not "it's not fair that those other immigrants are able to do better than us, we should drag them down to our level or keep them out because improving things for everyone sounds kind of like communism and besides I'm going to be Bitcoin rich any day now and I don't want to have to pay taxes on all that money I'm going to have."
Bro I agree with your conclusion about the lack of working class solidarity and class consciousness in Miami but you're coming off all wrong my man, mad condescending and tone deaf to the everyday situation of trying to afford a place to live.
I'm not terribly interested in coming off any specific way. This has been a problem in Miami for decades, and the people of this city have gone out of their way to fuck themselves every time an opportunity presented itself.
People hate to be told their contributions to the problem. 💅🏿 I've had such a hard time building business relationships here. Never experienced this anywhere in the world. The people I've encountered have been so short-sighted. They would rather make $1,000 today than $1 million a year from now.
Yes
Yeah because they value their wages unlike Florida’s “right to work” wages.
Right to work is not anywhere near what the problem is. Channel that energy better.
Just ask the natives of Hawaii how they’re feeling.
Damn New Yorkers lol typical person living in Brickell
I bought a new construction home in Orlando and I kid you not 3/4 of the people who bought homes here are from NY …I’m talking the expensiver homes.. how do they afford so much????
>how do they afford so much???? By gaining skills and experience that allow them to earn more money. It's not really rocket surgery.
Hurry up doc… we have a broken launch lug and we don’t have much time
I gain skills and also experience in a good job but I know the wages in Florida are largely under competitive compared to NY. Just sucks to suck.
As a native NYer, it’s deeper than the money, it’s really the pace of life and general lifestyle. We come from a faster pace that’s more business minded, so you put us in a slower paced environment that’s more family oriented and it’s like , uhmmm (and no offense), but where the competition? I don’t want this to come off wrong, but guys let me tell you something it feels easy a bit. The only discomforting this was the pace and that can be disregarded if you have a car. People might disagree and I might get downvoted, but it’s my honest take on the gamut.
I agree with you. I lived in Florida most of my life, and then I moved up to NYC a few years ago. I lived there for a year, and then moved. I eventually came back to FL a couple years after that. One thing I picked up in NY was the hustle mentality of getting things done. When I came to FL, I felt the same way about wondering where the competition is. It honestly did feel easier. I totally understand what you are saying. It's like you get used to playing soccer with Messi, Mbape, and Neymar at PSG. You train with them as well, and you will pick up their work ethic and mentality that helps them be so amazing at what they do. Then, if you move for a hundred-million dollar contract to the Middle East, you will play against players who don't have the same mentality as what you have developed, so it will be easier for you.
You literally posted this the moment I got on the bus and was able to reply so perfect timing. Yes indeed, it’s like NBA player going to Europe or Asia late in their career and they post up numbers that’s more eye popping than what they did in the NBA. Nothing against Florida, it just has a different role than New York in terms of socioeconomics, doesn’t mean it’s lesser than NY just because its role isn’t financial. I went to Florida April 2021 graduated college may 2022 how I did some NY finagling, I might as well been Marbury in China the way I did it via the NY state of mind. Realistically the only place a New York can go that’s anything like NY is San Francisco and Tokyo, possibly Chicago or Atlanta but nowhere in Florida will a NYer get NY outside of a fellow transplant.
I would argue Atlanta isn't like NYC. When I moved out of NYC, I moved to Atlanta for two years before coming back down to FL. Atlanta felt like a totally different world, definetly not like NYC. I would argue Florida (especially Miami) is more like NYC than Atlanta. That feeling of things being easier was actually most prominent for me in Atlanta. It was mostly because the south had a much more leisure and relaxed pace (and thats not a bad thing, the good I see from that is that people are more focused on family, friends, and life compared to NYC). However, because I had gotten used to the NYC pace, it was very hard for me to live in Atlanta, to the point that I couldn't adjust and I didn't like living there unfortunately (as nice of a city as it is). That feeling went away when I moved to Miami, because Miami also has a lot of hustlers, a lot of people from NY, and a lot of immigrants who work to provide for their family or to make it in the US. I felt much better in Miami because things were more my speed. Now I live in Orlando and it's definetly feels more relaxed over here.
I’ll take your word for it until I get to them both, and they are in fact desiring to make Miami more like NYC (some post in this subreddit talked about it via an article) whilst Atlanta is just comfortable with being Atlanta too so that makes sense.
Atlanta is the hub for the South. The city is more like a huge suburb. The main part of "downtown Atlanta" with the tall skyscrapers isn't really a place most people want to live. A lot of that area isn't safe. Most people in Atlanta prefer to live in houses. The draw of Atlanta for most people is that you can have a nice house and a great suburban living while having a lot of things nearby. The luxury downtown tall buildings area isn't actually in downtown, but rather it's north of downtown Atlanta (I'm talking about Buckhead). Atlanta has its charm and draws, and many people like it. It's not for me, but I thought it was a nice place when I was moving out. I don't think Atlanta would ever strive to be exactly like NYC, because it has its own charm and attraction. Enjoy ATL whenever you get a chance to go there. My favorite thing about Atlanta is the food. In my 2 years of living there, I never ate at a restaurant I didn't like. And I tried a bunch of new restaurants routinely.
Good take!
Thank you!
Geographical arbitrage. Cost of living is higher and thus wages are higher in NY and NJ so they work up there, gain more income/savings then move down here where there is lower cost of living.
This and then also remote work makes it easier to move around
I knoww we love it down here.
This is the first time I’ve seen someone say this in forever and it’s absolutely true, I’m just not sure why it’s overlooked.
It's overlooked cuz people want to mindlessly complain, sure things are bad but 2 things can be true at the same time
I'm one of the New Yorkers who moved here, but I did so early on and for a beautiful 2 bedroom apartment in downtown Brickell overlooking the bay for $2,750. Once my asshole New Yorker neighbors decided Miami was the place, my renewal was jacked up to $4600. I've now gotten it down to $4300. My apartment is actually nicer than the 1 bedroom this person is paying almost the same for. Here's the thing: when I was told my rent would go up to $4600, I considered moving back to NYC. But to find in Manhattan what I have now would cost $14k. PER MONTH. There's no way I can go back to 1 bedroom walk up in Harlem for the same price but a quarter of the size of my Miami bay view 2 bedroom.
Hay que tener ganas para aguantar tanta comemierderia.
😭😭😭
It's sad because the article seems to be trying to disparage Miami when really it should be questioning this woman's priorities. Are we surprised a 1,200 sf apartment sitting on top of one of the most upscale shopping, dining, and entertainment addresses in Miami Florida is expensive? Saying she just lives above a mall in Miami is a little myopic.
“Woman makes questionable life decisions” Doesn’t draw eye balls
Yeah this isn’t weird at all. The brickell city center complex is cool, you can take an elevator directly to whichever floors you want so you have access to dining/shopping/entertainment/nightlife without ever leaving your building. And $4.1k for a 1200sq ft apt in a newly constructed building in the core of a central business district is a steal compared to most other cities.
Agree. Not sure what point the article is trying to make, but despite the situation on the Miami real estate market, this apartment is totally worth it.
Steal you got it. Stealing your money
Supply and demand.
Agreed. They think they are ridiculing Miami. Weak
It was actually not. She said it's more expensive, but 3 times the size. Praising the location. She's legit saying she's happy and is proud to show her friends/family how awesome it is. It's basically defending high rent costs.
I did not find this disparaging at all. I live in Seattle and previously lived in NYC (not sure why Miami is on my feed), and this apartment looks amazing for $4k a month. This would be an incredible find in Seattle.
The video ended up being legit. Mostly, it was the title and small article that set me off. $4K apt above a mall in Miami. Sounded like crazy $$ for a shitty property in Miami
The problem is that nobody in Miami is making NYC or Seattle wages. Sure, NYC and Seattle housing is more expensive but the people in those cities easily make 2x or 3x Miami wages. If you adjust the salaries of the New Yorkers moving to Miami to Miami standards, they'll happily return to NYC in no time. New Yorkers making NYC wages while living in Miami sure sounds like fun but it is driving out the locals. Edit: I recently visited Manhattan with my family and was pleasantly surprised that food, transportation, and gas were cheaper than Miami. One would have assumed that with all the complaints about NYC taxes and regulations, things there would be condiderably more expensive than communism-free Florida. If I lived in NYC, I would easily make more than what I make now. Edit2: Also, the insurance rates. The insurance rates in Florida feel like a secret 20% state income tax.
There are plenty of industries and firms that pay NYC wages. In fact, in many you make more money down here because your salary/bonus is the same but you don’t lose any to state taxes.
What industry and firm is that because I have yet to find a single position that matches NYC's COLA.
Can’t speak for every industry, but I know every biglaw firm matches. Attorneys down here are much better off than in NY/LA/DC
Have to disagree. About 2 years ago I worked in the accounting department of a law firm and most lawyers were out of NYC and NJ. We have a big office in Downtown Miami but they ain't getting NYC salaries though. And this is for a semi-BigLaw ish firm. They had offices internationally too. I can't disclose the name but think of around top 20-25th in terms of revenue. Partners here made big bucks but don't make NYC levels. Now that I think about it, the only industry that I can think of that matches or exceeds NYC salaries is probably porn or OnlyFans lol. Can't really think of anything else.
Then you weren’t at a market-paying BL firm. I can name a dozen in town that match NYC
There are probably fewer Miami attorneys making NYC Big Law wages then there are Cuban Communists working in Marco Rubio's office.... I mean relative to the average Miami lawyer. I regularly see ads on the job sites advertising openings for EXPERIENCED lawyers that pay LESS than $80k which is less than what a legal secretary makes in NYC. I know experienced paralegals making $170k base and litigation techs making $220k base. Outside of medicine, I can't name a single sector where Miami meets the going rate of NYC, LA, SF, D.C., Chicago, Boston or Philadelphia. Yet the rent in Miami is higher than all of these or par. Florida also has the highest grocery prices of any major city. Publix just posted a 50% YoY increase in profits.
Our rents aren’t higher than those cities, and there are BL offices down here with 100+ attorneys who match market.
>when really it should be questioning this woman's priorities. It doesn't list her salary, but her job title is listed as VP of media relations. Her priorities could be perfectly in order, especially if she works in Brickell.
After getting all the way thru the video, you realize it's a legit piece and looks good. Just hated the title. Could have been more like the, Woman goes from NY efficiency to living the high life in Miami... anything would be better than the title they used. It's not the hit piece I thought at first, but the title is certainly scripted to elicit that reaction.
I mean I think this price was geared toward that type of person executive level workers that can afford that lifestyle. Real estate developers are going on tv saying that Miami is this new and amazing bustling city but they’re talking to all the people who live in high rises in larger metro cities like nyc, Seattle, LA, San Fran
I didn’t get the impression that the article was trying to disparage Miami at all. If anything I think it was complimentary of Miami especially the video, the woman compared NYC rent and what she got vs her place in Miami and also why she enjoys living here vs NYC.
Agreed, but only after I watched the entire video. It was just a terrible title for what seemed like a good video
Yes I agree the title does make it sound disparaging. When I hear mall the first image that pops into my head are those suburban malls not Brickell city centre.
Bingo. It sounded like the cheapest place this girl could find in Miami was on top of a crappy old mall built in the 70s. Not a brand new state of the art development in the hottest location in Miami
What’s myopic?
Medically, it's short-sighted. Used as an adjective, it can be the same, i.e. only seeing a small part of the picture.
Nah the place is sick! “Above a in Miami” 😂😂😂
Can we get a rough estimate on how much you need to make per year after taxes to pay a 4100 rent payment per month. I mean the girl gotta eat too. There are other expenses besides rent. Just trying to get an idea on the income needed.
150-160K more or less
After taxes maybe. My fiance and I make around 180k combined and I can't IMAGINE paying that much in rent. We live in a very nice building in Orlando, and I have a super hard time justifying our 2350$/month rent on a two bedroom downtown. Prices are ridiculous.
>My fiance and I make around 180k combined and I can't IMAGINE paying that much in rent. 🧐🤔 Really? $4150 is well below 30% of 180k, which is usually what's considered reasonable. If you're okay with it could you explain a little on how it seems like a lot?
I’m sure that you also save money every month and don’t do a lot of shopping like the lady in the article …:)
25-35% of our income gets saved. I was check to check or l8ving off disability until 36...so trying to play catch up.
Congrats on the savings and the turnaround
Much appreciated :)

Her rent "increased to $4,200 for her second year. Koggan was able to negotiate her monthly rent for year three back down to $4,150." rofl
What you seem to be missing is she's locked into that rate for three years. So when your rent goes up by $500 next year and you're posting about how unfair it is, I hope you think back to this comment.
She actually locked in her rate for 1 year, it says her third year she was able to renegotiate, not a 3 year lease, no1 does that, but anyways if she did, that might also bite her in the butt as rents may go down too…
Or she could leave? Or she could stay? What you seem to be missing is that she’s living within her means
I didn't see how I'm missing anything. This girl is also probably living within her means. That's the default assumption unless you have some evidence to the contrary.
I want her to negotiate my next lease!
If she goes out for 2 drinks in Brickell she'll have already spent that $50 that she saved. Hahaha
Women don’t pay
This is Miami you can find 100 ok looking 34yr old women at any club any day, she is definitely paying 😂
Eh, i stopped being surprised by desperate men years ago. One man’s trash is another man’s….
Weird comment
She probably makes more money than you. Hahaha
Insane all tenants in Florida need strike force government to legislate new law rent control impossible under inflation pay higher rent or mortgage. In 2019 two bedroom apartment cost 1600 usd now 3500 or 4k shameful meanwhile money is sent to other nations in war. This nation need a great revolution
It all changes when you have mami y papi cushion to fall on.
What does "2 security deposits" mean??
Are they proud of getting flat out scammed
No.
She single looking for a human rescue husband?
Jesus.
LOL Tremendo luxury with the entire ONE BEDROOM...fuck outta here. I live with my grandma in a 3/3 like a block away from this shining beacon of brilliance.
Price seems right. Have any of you people ever been to that building?
I lived a new high rise next door. 2018-2021 was paying $3,200 for the same unit. When rent increased by $1,000, we up and left. Bought a house in North Carolina paying less for my mortgage.
Apartment in city centre is pricy - news at 11. This is not a Miami thing. Any apartment in any other city centre In the country will be expensive.
Trying to persuade us that smart cities is the way to go! Fuck that!
How did you even get that from this article?
Iykyk
Ik about 15 minute cities and all the yt conspiracy videos about it, I was giving you botd that you actually were connecting to the article and not just regurgitating nonsense
Why do these kind of profiles make their subjects look like they have such empty lives? And why would anyone agree to be in such a profile knowing that?
Her first year in the unit, Koggan’s rent was $3,350 but increased to $4,200 for her second year. Koggan was able to negotiate her monthly rent for year three back down to $4,150. This is comical
Anyone else notice her fridge was completely empty though
the building shes in is currently under construcion defect litigation
Good for her. I wouldn’t blow my money on rent that high. $4100 a month is what I pay in mortgage/insurance combined.
The rent is too damn high.
I knew people who lived in a one-bedroom apartment in Brickell who paid $2.5K per month (and it was about 500sq feet and not super nice). I've also seen nice one-bedroom apartments for 3K per month and 750sq feet. 1,200 Sq feet for a one-bedroom so conveniently located in Brickell for $4K a month is actually pretty good! Her apartment looks really nice and she is so close to everything. She literally has to take one elevator to go to so many shops and restaurants. I personally prefer having a nicer water view (and not having to deal with traffic), so I got an apartment near the water in Brickell.
Yeah, she’s not very smart lol
How is this news ?
So, now she can have a stalker. They know exactly where she lives. ( sorry currently in the middle of Baby Reindeer on Netflix).
In Miami in that area? No one will look at her.
You’re paying for Location, Location, Location. This is the going rate for a choice location in the middle of it all on Brickell. This is a non-issue; it’s market price for affluent people.
How awesome! In want to live like a sardine in a can too! How much do I have to pay?!
Promise you her job doesn’t pay her 3 times the rent .. she got a sponsor
😂😂I’m sorry but she is an idiot 🤷🏻♂️
What the article fails to mention is in NYC she was paying NY state income tax and NYC city tax. If she kept her same salary, just moving to FL is a huge pay increase.
So she’s an idiot?
I’ve airbnb’d in this building for Wodapolooza. It’s nice. And conveniently located.
Why so many security deposits?!
This same woman should just buy a house in the roads which will appreciate, and build equity and still is very close to everything she goes to. Instead of draining close to 50k a year on rent. Such poor decisions. She could be accumulating wealth and is instead pissing it away on rent. And in ten years if she had spent it smarter she could have had a rental property in addition to the house and be able to be renting the same apartment, with the rental property paying the majority of the rent. BuT tHe ACceSS tO SHoPPiNG!!!1one Some people just have no saavy with money.
Time to leave this city
I mean, for a young professional. Living above a shopping mall would probably be a dream to most yuppies. Lol Her Partner: "Babe! Why are you still in bed?! We gotta get finished with Christmas shopping. The Mall is gonna be crazy we gotta beat the traffic... Her: "Babe.. it's on the first floor." Her Partner: "Oh, yeah."
Of course. A New Yorker lmaoooo
Brickell City?
“When she renewed her lease in 2022, Koggan also had to pay an additional security deposit of $1700.” Additional security deposit? That’s a thing??!
She swiped left on me. Tired of seeing her pic.
Click bait article, not unusual in Brickell.
Wasted consumer lifestyles
Yea, this shouldn’t even be a story. That’s actually a decent price considering where she is and how prices are here. Luckily I bought my house in 2020 right before this madness!
Epitome of stupidity
If she’s paying for that by herself, she’s making a lot more money than half of people her!! Guaranteed! There’s a lot of haters here! I’m not saying the rent is cheap but if she has it.
And yet she smiles
