Summary
Nate is a video editor originally from Maine and Julia is a lawyer originally from Manhattan. About two years after meeting, they decided to move in together. Since he works from home a lot, they wanted a two-bedroom and set their budget at the mid-$3,000s, wanted a place in Park Slope or Prospect Heights. They checked out some places that were either too dark, a sublet, or would likely involve interactions with therapy patients. Having upped their budget to $3,800, they pressed on and added an agent to their search. He showed them a place they really couldn't afford - a two-bedroom in a Park Slope rowhouse for $4,500. It even had a second bathroom and a washer/dryer hookup. They loved it and made an offer that was rejected. But just as they were about to sign a similar, yet less nice place, they got an offer from the one they loved for $4,200 a month. They know they broke their budget, but they love the place, especially when it comes to having guests over. Everyone gets a seat. [The Hunt/The Brooklyn Apartment That Almost Got Away]

Now that you are in, start squatting and own it, citizens rights guaranteed by the constitution, the third party 'landlord' is an agent of treason?!$.
OMG. Half of her or his yearly income gone on f*ing rental. WTF.
I hope it has two bathrooms. If not they got ripped off. 
@Scorpion68: I agree. They should settle for the grungy kitchen and save for retirement.
