I went to NY for holiday recently and this is probably the photo I'm most proud of.

I always find tourists amusing.

It's a shitty photo, partly because it was taken with an old camera phone, partly because it's a picture of the street with the sun setting. Do you know how generic that is? Do you have any idea how many people have taken this same exact shot?
>>2870193
Exact same shot? Hardly.
Similar shot? A damn lot.
But, ehy, I'm ok with it.
The point of photography is not to immortalize the moments that means something for us?
>>2870183
It's shit. That horrendous plastic lens flare is killing me.
But maybe you'll appreciate this one a bit more

I'm sorry, I'm JJ Abrams son

This is way better than that shit you first posted in the OP.

>The point of photography is not to immortalize the moments that means something for us?
No? I get what you're saying even though you phrased it like a retard. What you described is the point of just taking a photo, not the point of photography.

If you like rats so much, you should have come here to Orlando, home of the richest rat in the world.

I always find outsiders amusing.

Living near the trump towers or in chinatown isn't nice you filthy yuppie.

>hurr durr UES
>muh upper crust high society
>(((elites)))
I remember when I used to think like that. Then I traveled outside NYC and discovered there are much safer environments that aren't within spitting distance of Spanish Harlem.
Now I live in a tropical climate, I have a home with a pool and jacuzzi in a gated community, 2 car garage, workshop, 4 bedrooms, home office, backyard with grill, a massive open kitchen-dining-living area, granite counters and stainless appliances, oversized laundry, and the list goes on. Mexicans do my landscaping twice a week and the pool boy tops off the chlorine in the pool. I have a lake view and every night I get a fireworks show from Universal Studios.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, you're dodging pickpockets and wolf packs on the UES. So, tell me again, how is your apt so much more valuable?

Grew up in NYC. Went to college in Tampa. Live in Orlando now.
Real estate is something I know well.

Wholly shit thats fucking amazing. A fucking starter home in the outer boughs is like 800k.
Hows the rental scene
>>2872548
>rentals
>1k small house or fair apt for under 1k
>1.5k good house or nice apt
>2-3k nice house or excellent apt
>3k+ beautiful lake house or penthouse apt
Lots of minimum wage service jobs means that landlords have a hard time finding tenants, especially for the higher end of the market.
Believe it or not, the latest trend here are flop houses. I own one, it's a two bedroom apt. I rent each bedroom for $500 and I converted the living room into a sleeping area, which I rent out for $380. All together, it brings in $1,380/month. The condo fees are $380 and taxes are about $100 per month, meaning I profit $900 each month in positive cash flow.
>>2872571
»Shit that sounds amazing.
3k gets you a decent apt.Im guessing public transit is shit there?
>>2872663
Just to be clear, in Orlando, $1,500 gets you an awesome apt - 3 bedrooms, brand new carpet, new paint, granite counters, new appliances, garage, and a huge master bath with a closet bigger than a manhattan studio.
Gotta have a car in Florida or you'll be miserable. Public transport exists but it is just for the very bottom class of society or alcoholics who lost their drivers licenses due to DWI and are forced to ride the bus.
Worst case scenario, spend a couple of grand and get a starter car. It'll be a shitty car, probably, but it'll get you around in comfort if it comes with cold A/C (absolutely mandatory in FL).

Tampa bro here, I'm going to visit Orlando tomorrow. I've thought about moving there, most of the urban area is really nice and while I wouldn't be as close to the beaches as I am now, it's only like an hour drive to somewhere like Cocoa or Melbourne which isn't that bad for a day off.
>>2872595
NYC meme, flying rats. Very bland but there's definitely some cool stuff you can do with it
>>2872670
Is the traffic bad also hows the parking?
>>2873203
Easy parking almost everywhere. Very rarely do you have to pay for parking. The most upscale places have free valet (you tip five bucks).
Traffic in Orlando and Tampa is way better than anything like Miami or NYC or LA. Sure, it sucks during rush hour, but that's true everywhere. Florida is very flat and everything is really spread out, so you often have to drive long distances and you're forced to pay shekels to the toll road jew. But it's worth it to live here because of the great weather and the incredible scenery. And if you ever feel homesick for city life, then it's a three hour drive to Miami, or 30 min flight.
>>2873228
I might consider moving there. What are the downsides?
>>2872670
Also is this your fucking closet?
