I dont think you can even get a house with a basement in queens

I suspect he was stealing form his demented father in law's social security/ retirement

The fuck are you talking about? It's cheap as hell to get a place in Queens. Queens is like the suburbs for NYC. Their townhouse would run like 100k-200k tops.

Maybe in the 80s/90s but now they're pushing up on 800k-1m anywhere you'd actually want to live

mid 90s, two salaries, long island. yeah, pretty feasible

king of queens actually ended right before the housing crisis.

I imagine they got the boot

They had to eat Arthur to survive.

It's called a mortgage, most people can get one

could*
>ftfy

Unless you're a worthless people of shit then it's not hard to get one today

late 90's, with Union UPS and 5-10 on job+$$$$

that part of Queens they were in is not "city" is actually pretty nice, and now full of koreans.

lmao

Bullshit.

All the 1-2 bedroom townhouses are 100-200k.

Wot?

same way he could pull a hot piece like her.. love that bitchy look!

>long island

Wot?

Dude look at the quality of homes you listed.

Now think about how nice the home in the show is, also consider they had a basement and garage. It was also at least 2 bedrooms

Minimum we're talking about a 2000-3000 square foot home in nicer neighborhoods than those

The home in the show isn't in Queens at all, it's in New Jersey. The OP was talking about how someone affords a townhouse in Queens.

The house in NJ doesnt factor into this, obviously they didnt film in that home. We are going off the inside of the home we see on screen.

the real house in NJ doesnt even have a garage

The point was that the house on the show was going to look nicer because it was taken from New Jersey. Naturally, Queens will look worse in real life, and the OP was talking about how someone can afford a house with the approximate layout of the show in Queens. And the answer is that Queens is still the cheapest part of NYC to live in and it only takes a couple hundred grand to get a townhouse there.

Same as how a waitress and an out of work cook could afford a brownstone in the village

they ddnt live in a brownstone you stupid bastard. it was their grandmothers rent controlled apartments

Didn't Carrie have a way better job than Doug?

she was a legal assistant in the city or something, yeah

Of UPS' employees, the truck drivers are paid well. Senior guys can make like 75k base pay.

The neighborhood Doug lives in the show is Rego Park.

This house is 1.5m in Rego Park

Probably not. Drivers can do surprisingly well. She had a more 'prestigious' job but I'm sure Doug made more
