[FULL DISCLOSURE] Who Gives A Shit: What Do You Pay For Rent?

Long story short: my landlord is upping my rent when my lease is up in August because "that's what the market will bear," and I'm all like "I don't understand what bears have to do with anything."

What it comes down to is that I really love my apartment, and of course, the location, but I already couldn't really afford it.

Should I move?

I live off of 7th Avenue, only a few blocks from the F train stop. The new rent for the 2BR apartment is $2,700 a month.

What do you pay in rent?

This is totally personal, so comment anonymously if you want. I just want to know if I'm getting screwed.
