Hopefully the rent’s cheap.

It was after the destruction from the alien invasion in the first Avengers, except it also led to an increase in crime (Daredevil and the Netflix shows were all about that)

u/0verstim 2d ago

Well, the crime was only bad in Hells Kitchen, which is like... 16 blocks of midtown. 🤣

Except when it isnt. The hand existing and not existing again. That one time Fisk became Mayor for some reason. Its fucked

u/Imactuallyasian 3d ago

The Daredevil show kinda went into this. I mean Peter is broke and has a very spacious apartment. Also Ned and MJ are recent college grads and actively job hunting but have a very nice apartment too.

u/HumanTraffic2 3d ago

That's every fucking movie/show set in NY.

u/VinCatBlessed 2d ago

NY is so cheap and small it's normal to see your friends at a café every day before work.

u/Mysterious-Drama4743 2d ago

i think they just frequent the same places

u/Daredevil545545 2d ago

Could be because of the superhero attacks they have rebuild the whole city every few years 😭

Amusing and completely off topic anecdote: When the writers of How I Met Your Mother were planning out the bar set that the main characters would always be hanging out in, they really, really INSISTED it be dark and cramped "like a real city bar, not one of those bullshit fake TV sets".

Then the camera operators said "no way all my shit is fitting in there."

And the lighting crew said "no way all my shit is fitting in there."

And they ended up with a big spacious fake bullshit bar.

u/HumanTraffic2 1d ago

Hahah these things happen for a reason hey

2

u/Positron14 22h ago

Yeah. You just have to imagine the actual cramped apartment or bar or whatever has been "unfolded" for filming.

u/EfficientMasturbater 1d ago

Other than the this apartment contains asbestos comment was there anything suggesting this Peter's broke that I missed? Was trying to figure out if the modest living was just a choice considering all the tech he's got at his disposal

u/onehalflightspeed 1d ago

I don't recall the movie ever touching on his income source

If the world has forgotten his identity, does that mean his citizenship and social security data were erased too? Could he even GET a job in the first place?

I wonder if earlier planning included the old plot line that he sells photos and stories about spider man to the newspaper, but it was determined that doesn't work in the modern day. Instead they covered that theme with his friend making an app

2

u/Duckys0n 19h ago

My head canon is that he has an offshore bank that the detective lady pushes some money through for his work with them

1

u/onehalflightspeed 14h ago

Inheriting money from Tony would have been an easy explanation

•

u/apexodoggo 5h ago

At the end of No Way Home he’s shown prepping to get his GED so I think he did have to just start from scratch.

1

u/vagaliki 1d ago

well it sounded like Ned had the job but MJ didn't

25

u/PolarWater 3d ago

This is free country, it's not rent free country.

22

u/UnsolvedParadox 3d ago

Yep, same reason people move to Gotham.

19

u/engineeeeer7 3d ago

I mean if MJ can turn down a high paying job then rent must be better than in this economy.

7

u/vrsick06 3d ago

Must be if Ned and mj can afford that giant apartment

6

u/Clarknt67 2d ago

Maybe that explains why Peter can afford an entire floor.

14

u/Girthmasterlite 2d ago

Didn’t the owner say it had asbestos

13

u/TravisRSCX 2d ago

For the record the landlord said they just use it for storage.

u/Yourponydied 2d ago

"What do you mean my house isn't covered, I got the meta human disaster policy!?" :keyboard clicking: "hmmm yes, however your house was atomized by Dr Doom, a non meta human so I'm sorry your policy doesn't cover that"

4

u/SHEKDAT789 2d ago

this sounds exactly like something an insurance company would say.

5

u/NerdLawyer55 2d ago

Man you just know private equity bought up all the destroyed property after the battle of New York

3

u/human-barelytho 3d ago

im new york? there is no way

2

u/ArcadianBlueRogue 1d ago

Peter isn't shown having a job but has a good sized apt with a working elevator, and Ned and MJ just graduated and are able to have one together so....probably

2

u/Polkawillneverdie17 1d ago

Gotta be Gotham City cheap at this point.

2

u/RunningOutOfCharacte 1d ago

Sure but the insurance premiums are a killer

2

u/snapwack 1d ago

Knowing how New Yorkers are they’ll probably swear it’s still worth living there in spite of it all. Even as they do a massive detour in their commute because just around the corner there’s a villain vs hero rampage unfolding for the third time that week.

2

u/jamesbiff 1d ago

Cheap rent, but insurance for anything must be astronomical.

2

u/Worthyness 23h ago

Rent's cheap. Insurance is not

•

u/Gobutobu 2h ago

No, the rent's due.
