New York City has always been one of the most expensive places to live in America. But as horrible as the cost of living has been there, the effects of Bidenomics (or Kamalanomics, or Demonomics, or whatever you want to call it) have been nothing short of devastating for the people in the Big Apple.
Only the most affluent can afford to live there and many of them are choosing to leave. Recent trends over the past two years have seen an indisputable exodus from a city that is known for its lifestyle options. It was once considered a privilege to live there. Today, it’s such a burden that the people are trying to escape.

As Gemini AI details, New York City continues to break records for rent prices:
As of September 2024, the average rent in New York City is $3,869 per month, which is 147% higher than the national average. The average rent for different apartment sizes is:
- Studio: $3,145 per month for an average of 444 sq ft
- One bedroom: $3,869 per month for an average of 597 sq ft
- Two bedroom: $5,268 per month for an average of 791 sq ft
- Three bedroom: $6,509 per month for an average of 1,009 sq ft
In June 2024, the median rent in Manhattan was $4,667 per month, which was a record high.
Unfortunately, many are unable to leave without giving up their careers. The city is still one of the world’s hubs for all things finance and those who work for companies embedded in New York City keep the outrageously priced apartments in high demand.
According to NY Post:
The hunt for a New York City apartment has gone from frustrating to downright feral.
This summer, renters are battling it out like never before, all for a shot at a roof over their heads in a city where landlords are calling the shots and jacking up prices to astronomical levels.
Take Aurielle Catron, a 29-year-old security engineer who braved the NYC jungle in search of a two-bedroom in Bushwick. After a brutal month-long search and 52 viewings, Catron landed a rent-stabilized fourth-floor walk-up for $3,200 a month.
It wasn’t her dream pad — it’s missing a laundry room and elevator — but after losing a bidding war that saw a $2,800 unit shoot up to $3,600, she was just relieved to have a place to call home.
Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,

I make $42 an hour in AZ. If you’re ignorant enough to choose to pay that for a shoe box with Zero dignity… How is it you even afford it? I’m in mill work carpentry and I’m paid decent money for Phoenix. Must I presume I would make double that in NY to afford housing? There is no way I can afford $2600 a month for rent. Do people at McDonald’s make $75 an hour out there or what? At least I don’t have to ask why people go postal anymore.
Why in the word would anyone actually want to live there?
Those who are still stupid enough to live in that cesspool deserve every bit of the insanity and filth that place provides. Stop complaining about your rent, your food, and your illegal aliens. Suck it up and live in it. And don’t even think about moving with your progressive/Marxist ideology to a sane state. You will be made very uncomfortable and firmly escorted out of said state.
Unfortunately I live in a deep blue state with a ditz of a governor (NM).
BUT, I don’t rent, I built, not purchased a 2br 1,250 sq ft home in 2015 in a very rural area, on a 2 acre lot, and the payment, not rent is $650 a month. I can’t concieve paying what NYers are paying for a small home or apartment. Madness!
