Downtown Brooklyn? Seems like studio pods in the general vicinity are $1600-1700 which isn't too bad. I've been checking online and it seems like similar apartments in Manhattan are smaller/shittier or $2k+. Not sure if that tradeoff is worth it.

My plan is to move somewhere for 2-3 years, build experience, then apply/beg for a big tech job in the bay area.
I do not want to spend the next 2-3 years of my life living where I do now. I've already wasted enough time.
