What a joke.
Hopefully the rents will go down. My landlord is practically begging for me to stay. I laughed in his face when he offered me only a 20 dollar rent decrease for a lease renewal. Its a renters market now. Pay what you want or do not pay at all if you are unemployed.
its an unpleasant area that has nothing appealing visually. its surrounded by skyscrapers, and on top of that, there’s plenty of noise pollution from the subway and constant construction thats been going on for years. i wouldnt want to live there even if rent was free. its not a very good area and close to the projects.
From the website, market rate is:
$4,980 – $5,131 for a 3 Bed 2 Bath
$3,162 for a 1 Bed 1 Bath
Affordable Housing is Not Really Affordable Anymore; only if you Earn a High Salary!
One Reason for so many Homeless people!
In Addition, Compelling Multiple Families to live in one Apartment, Consequently Spreading the Covid-19 Disease Pandemic like Wildfire!
If someone can afford this kind of inflated Rent, then it might be Better to buy a House and invest your Money in Real Estate!
Otherwise, Perhaps it’s more Realistic to live outside of NYC.
What’s the squarfootage of these apartments?
The unaffordable housing.lottery.
Amazing!
Seriously, right now who gives a damn???
$2241 for a studio is “affordable”?
Over 2k (and make around 90k per year) for a bed in the kitchen! Thats affordable, what a great deal!
Good price if you earn $4000.00 a week.
Nope.
