Sorry, the affordable stuff is much less. I meant the market-rate stuff is 2500/mo.

I have plenty of friends with roommates who pay 500-1000/mo each for their apartment. New York is just a little different, I suppose. Anyway, since I can post large photos here that I can't on WNY, here's the whole panorama of LIC...
