I checked out an apartment during my search for a new place. Fortunately, a journalist and media personality provided a virtual tour of a $7,000 apartment through TikTok and alerted their followers about the absurd housing conditions in New York City.
Speedy mentioned that the two-bedroom and two-bathroom apartment was beyond his budget, but he demonstrated what one could get for “seven thousand American dollar bills” in New York City.

Speedy acknowledged that the bedroom was “spacious enough” and the bathroom was “pleasant,” yet he felt $7,000 was too much. He quipped about seeing snacks in the building, adding with a laugh referring to his reflection in the bathroom mirror, “but those aren’t part of the deal.” “Seriously though, can’t make it work,” Speedy concluded.
