<human>: I've been considering downgrading from my current apartment to one that is almost half as cheap, the only problem is that it's nowhere near as nice and isn't in the best location. 

A little backstory, right now my current apartment is extremely nice and rent runs $1055 a month. My monthly income is $2800 after all deductions. My total expenses (including rent) usually comes out to around $1750-$1800, so I usually have a leftover give-or-take $1000. Most of that money has been going to fixing my ongoing car issues and online school tuition. I would really love to get a newer car and not get another used car in place of this one. I just don't want to get stuck really tight in a budget with a monthly car payment and think that downgrading my apartment would help with the budget. 

Is it worth the downgrade? Considering it's smaller, in a worse neighborhood (not the worst, but definitely not suburbia), and not too much better location-wise for my job.

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: Really want a new car and thinking about downgrading to an apartment that is almost 50% cheaper but is not the greatest or in a really good neighborhood.
