People who fled New York City during the coronavirus pandemic to live with relatives or to second homes are returning, driving up rental prices and ending the hopes of young people who want to live in their own apartment.
The New York Times spoke with some of those tenants, including Chelcie Parry, who rented a studio for $1,750 in January 2021. On April 1, the rent went up to $3,450 — almost double from what she had been paying — and she had to leave.

People who live in NYC deserve what they get.
Great news! I want there to be a thriving New York where New Yorkers can think their New York thoughts and speak their New York words and stop populating other parts of the country near me.
People who have a job paying more than $500K, who can walk to work?
Fantastic! I hope they are so happy when they return that they never leave their home state-except as a tourist/snowbird again if they are liberals-vote in NY-stay in NY...
the rent went up to $3,450
My total monthly expenses are less than that.
Nut I don’t live in N.Y.C.
I know a girl there who is paying about that much.
I told her you can pay a mortgage for a $750,000 house for that and in flyover country it buys a pretty sweet place.
With 15,000 a day coming across the border look for rents everywhere to go up.
NYC is definitely an acquired taste for all except those who grew up there. Everything you’ve heard about the place is probably true, both the good and the bad. The cultural diversity there is stimulating, and, despite what you might think, not all of it occurs at the shank-end of a knife.
If they raise the rents high enough, perhaps they can get rid of all the dirty peasants
I told a black woman who moved to Tennessee from California to tell all her friends we were all racist rednecks here.
I visited NYC several times in the last century. The place gave me the willies.
Even seeing the scenes on Blue Bloods where they show the city from the sky are creepy.
That will stop the rush.
I have no beef against anyone from anywhere, as long as they
want to get along and contribute, but I’ve had the cultural
diversity tripe shoved down my throat to the point that I
will be just fine if I never hear that phrase ever again.
I live in a region that has been over-run by people who do
not speak our language, do not want to meld into our society,
and are anything but a wholesome addition to my nation.
Stimulating... yeah, that comes in a number of varieties,
and many of them are totally f’d up.
All those people who had NYC dead these past two years have been proven wrong. I now have to fight for a seat on the Metro North and stand in line for a sandwich and soup.
Except you won't make that same kind of money in flyover country.

Metro North is still not back to a full schedule and many of those you're riding with fled New York City in 2020.

Thank you. I appreciate the clarification.
I do agree that access to a varied amount of interesting
things does make life better, for people who appreciate
it a lot.
Yep. Verifies what I have been seeing since last summer across the river.
