I thought they had a sign on it about it being M&T bank headquarters but that wasn’t up that long. I thought that was a pretty bad use of that space.

Rule of thumb is to keep rent 30% of your annual income. With this rent you'll be at about 25%. You can definitely afford it.

What should be the income range for someone to be able to afford 2.1K?
I'm probably going to make 85+ K ... Is that enough?

I used to live on Bedford(downtown) Studio for 1450. It’s doable , you just gotta spend time and look

Well I was not talking about the concrete base but of actually the first two floors being build out is aluminum so they can charge more. And also that modern fire suppression sietes AKA the sprinklers can only handle so much and you know super well with what time of material this places are being build adding to that the more and more people are using batteries power bikes and scooter that burns super hot and quit storing them over night inside their apartment

That's completely normal in a low rise podium building. They build a concrete podium for the 5 storeys to sit on.
The main reason that there aren't very tall wooden buildings is because of all the cities burning down in there 19th century. With modern fire suppression technology, wooden buildings are much safer.

An 8 story apartment building is going in there, along with the offices of RMS, the company building it.

Yes apartment but look 👀 closely I believe the rules say wood frame up to 5 floors so they build the first 2 floor with aluminum studs and the rest wood so they can go higher and change more. God I love this country there are ways around everything in this place.

I’d look at Norwalk if you’re at that range. Stamford you’ll get a crappier 1br for that. Need like 2-2.5k for nice 1br

Find a compatible roommate and start an OnlyFans channel. Both tenants $1,600 will fetch a decent apartment and have cash for internet, streaming and heat.

Yes $2000+ for a 1 bed, $1600 will get you a studio (if you’re lucky). The further you go from downtown the rents will decrease a little but not by much.

You might be able to find a studio for that. If possible, you’d be better off finding a roommate and a 2br apartment in the 2700-3300 range

You could get something cheaper but it’s usually…not great. Or a scum.

It's going to be tough finding a 1 br apartment for that little in Stamford. The minimum I've seen is 2100.

a high end italian restaurant that serves overpriced mediocre food, then goes bankrupt and gets replaced by new restaurants that all go out of business, and all serve overpriced mediocre food.
