New York City has always been one of the most expensive places to live in America. But as horrible as the cost of living has been there, the effects of Bidenomics (or Kamalanomics, or Demonomics, or whatever you want to call it) have been nothing short of devastating for the people in the Big Apple.
Only the most affluent can afford to live there and many of them are choosing to leave. Recent trends over the past two years have seen an indisputable exodus from a city that is known for its lifestyle options. It was once considered a privilege to live there. Today, it’s such a burden that the people are trying to escape.
As Gemini AI details, New York City continues to break records for rent prices:
As of September 2024, the average rent in New York City is $3,869 per month, which is 147% higher than the national average. The average rent for different apartment sizes is:
- Studio: $3,145 per month for an average of 444 sq ft
- One bedroom: $3,869 per month for an average of 597 sq ft
- Two bedroom: $5,268 per month for an average of 791 sq ft
- Three bedroom: $6,509 per month for an average of 1,009 sq ft
In June 2024, the median rent in Manhattan was $4,667 per month, which was a record high.
Unfortunately, many are unable to leave without giving up their careers. The city is still one of the world’s hubs for all things finance and those who work for companies embedded in New York City keep the outrageously priced apartments in high demand.
According to NY Post:
The hunt for a New York City apartment has gone from frustrating to downright feral.
This summer, renters are battling it out like never before, all for a shot at a roof over their heads in a city where landlords are calling the shots and jacking up prices to astronomical levels.
Take Aurielle Catron, a 29-year-old security engineer who braved the NYC jungle in search of a two-bedroom in Bushwick. After a brutal month-long search and 52 viewings, Catron landed a rent-stabilized fourth-floor walk-up for $3,200 a month.
It wasn’t her dream pad — it’s missing a laundry room and elevator — but after losing a bidding war that saw a $2,800 unit shoot up to $3,600, she was just relieved to have a place to call home.
Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
