I recently moved from an airy two-bedroom in the Bronx to a closet in the East Village, and I couldn’t be happier. 

The Bronx, where I lived for four years after moving here from the Midwest, did have its advantages. 

My place was huge, and only $1,200 a month. On top of that I could be loud, I could play music, and I had a dishwasher and laundry in my apartment.

In short, it was big, and I could do whatever I wanted.
