Would you move to a sketchy area to save money on rent?

Considering they're raising rent where I currently am I am seriously considering it. I can rent an apartment in a house for under $1,000 a month and I'd get two bedrooms instead of 1 and a kitchen bathroom and living room. That's more space than I get now for much less money.

No. I’m having extreme difficulty finding a place and pretty much the worst area of my county is the only area that has a lot of places for rent. There’s no way I’m putting my kids in that area or school district.

M M, I’m in Queens. I know a zillion property owners - maybe they could be a fit. What is your situation?

@Thrust I’m not in the Bronx anymore. My son is connected with football recruiters, so I’m trying to keep him in his current school. He’s starting quarterback and has skill that’s rare for his age.

Thank you so much though! 🤍
