I got lucky and found a place for $1000 that was a hotel made into apartments, but other places are much more expensive

Luckily I use my folk's sam's club membership and get a dollar off gas and cheap groceries.

I got this one girl's contact info at a networking event , she doesn't want to do anything ever, but she will talk on Discord for hours at a time, Even people I have known for years via the internet don't want to do shit.
Aside from that it's paradise! Also why has the east coast, especially NYC gone to shit?
