How do young people manage to afford expensive cities? not all landlords will let 6 people share a studio?

Question

apartment. and I understand jobs in cities pay better, but the rent and cost of living is a lot more expensive. When I checked, cities cost around $2k/month for an apartment, so it's not like they can just pay rent and starve themselves.

Answer 1

not every apt in one city is exactly the same price - you probably have to live in less desirable sections of the city to get cheaper rents or just smaller apartments - aparts in Philadelphia - the 5th largest city in US aren;t anywhere near 42000 a month on avg - most are well under $1000 - even for 2 BR apts in the more expensive suburbs
