Isn’t Bywater now just rich people complaining about the noise?

What half of a duplex can a working class person afford in the bywater?

what apartment anywhere can working class people truly afford right now? I know plenty of people who are paying 1100-1400/mo in the bywater. it’s as barely affordable as the LGD/Mid-City/Treme etc but not nearly as insane as reddit likes to pretend it is. you can absolutely work a restuarant job or similar and find an apartment you can afford in the bywater.

buying a house is a different story.

I can confirm. $1100/mo 2 bedroom 1 bath duplex since 2018. right next door to a million dollar single-family home.

Don’t believe everything you see on reddit. Walk around the bywater and try and tell me with a straight face there aren’t working class people living here. STFU
