How Amusing, Living in a NYC CLOSET for $12,000 a year

Yes, the world has gone crazy.

Only you have to be on a waiting list to see a therapist.

You also have to be on a waiting list to get the world's shittiest and smallest apartment.

There is actually a "legal minimum size" for an apartment to be rented and called an apartment and a living space. It's 400 square feet, which is more like a prison cell.

Thanks to the city's "Department of Housing Preservation and Development," that rule has been squashed.

If you're LUCKY, you can rent one of 55 "studio apartments" that are between 260 and 360 square feet.

BUT, not so fast.

You have to be able to pay the rent, which is well above what any minimum-wage earner could earn. If you make $950 to $1,492 a month...forget it. The RENT is that much.

No, no, YOU are supposed to be making $34,000 to $78,000 to qualify for this "bargain" apartment/closet.

Yes, that's how fucking insane New York City is. For the privilege of being taxed, pushed, insulted, abused, subjected to noise, filth, bad air, barking dogs, insane foreigners, and coffee that can cost more than some people make an hour...YOU can enjoy living in a closet at a minimum of about $12,000 a fucking year.

Truth is stranger than fiction, and this is what was in today's newspaper.
