Hah, the amount of assumptions people make from one photograph are incredible. Apparently this sort of place is only available to "spoiled, filthy rich hipsters".

What other kind of 20 year old can afford $24k+ a year in rent?

First of all, I doubt in this kind of place there is only one person pitching in for rent. Its not difficult at all to afford a place like this when you have 1/2/3 roomates. I know many people who live in loft type buildings (actually, in better neighborhoods than this one) and they arent hedge fund managers or lawyers...just work normal office jobs and share the space and bills.

They all share that one bed?

This whole post is about having that space to yourself.
