[speaker001:] I can 't believe the cost of apartments in New York City.
[speaker002:] Oh, you didn 't know that apartments here are considered valuable, even if they are small and crowded?
[speaker001:] Of course I had heard about that, but now I know how expensive it is to rent a place here.
[speaker002:] I don 't mind paying high rent to live in New York.
[speaker001:] Why? You pay so much for such a tiny space to live.
[speaker002:] Yeah, but so what! I 'm proud to live in the world 's most exciting city. And, the salaries here are the highest in the nation, too.
