An Unethical Life Pro Tip (or ULPT) is a tip that improves your life in a meaningful way, perhaps at the expense of others and/or with questionable legality. Share your best tips you've picked up throughout your life, and learn from others!
ULPT Rules:
- Tips must be unethical, tips that are ethical will be removed.
- Tips must provide some benefit to you.
- Post titles must begin with "ULPT" or "ULPT Request", and should be descriptive. The title should explain the gist of the ULPT without needing a description. Post that are walls of text will be deleted at the mods discretion.
- No tips about rape, murder, suicide, or any tips that violate Geneva Convention laws.
- No tip lists, each individual post should be about a single tip. This includes links to articles that list tips.

There are one bedrooms and studios for < $2k in brooklyn. They might not be fancy, but they exist.
That might be more than other places, but you have to factor in you don't need a car here. So that's $10k/year saved (though I think it's about $2k/year if you max out your transit rides before they become free every week).
You'd have to pay me a shit load of money for me to consider living somewhere that isn't walkable.
Walkability is nice.
I'm fortunate to live in a part of Kansas City that's eminently walkable, and when the streetcar expansion is finished in a year and a half, I'll be a block away from it, but the regional transit here in this city has always been very good. We've had a high-speed bus line through the main corridor of the city for almost 20 years now.
The bigger plus is that public transit here is fare-free.
