This is what I've always wondered. I live with my significant other in a good enough 1 bedroom that was a covid deal in Manhattan and we've been lucky enough where our rent has only gone up $250 total over the past 2 going on 3 years. Who are these people living in 1 bedroom apartments that are $4000+? There seemingly can't possibly be that many people making that much money in NYC, right?

Well if it's a couple there's a lot of people. Even if not, there are plenty of people in tech and finance.
