Also, as much as I love NY, I'm pretty sure you qualify for the city's affordable housing lottery on the EMT base salary.
@NysEms2117 That's pretty expensive, though its also one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the city I think (West Village). My buddies and I pay a bit under $3000 for a three bedroom (so like 1k each) uptown in Harlem, for a kind of meh apartment. The outer boroughs are also cheaper. It's all still pretty expensive, but not $4,000 for a 1bed expensive.
I can't imagine paying $4,000 for a single even if I was making a physician's salary.
