Can you believe this? While the size of the typical apartment has not changed - 1,302 square feet - the average price has increased from $894,617 to $916,959.

This is why I live in Queens. I don't need to live in Manhattan proper. Not for that price. And yet day after day I see tons of friends of mine squeezing their lives into places the size of shoeboxes - all because it's so important to live in "the city."

I'm stuck in this city because as an actor, it's one of two places I can live if I really want to pursue the business. Otherwise, I'd be outta here.

Are there other NYC dwellers out there? Why do we put up with this?
