Merry Christmas, Santa
people act like families have never crammed into tiny ass 1 bedrooms.
NYC has always been hard on poor people. Im sure none of them could buy their filthy apartments 80 years ago and they still cant now.
the only people really nostalgic for the old new york are middle class white kids from the suburbs who now cant sit around and do nothing in their gigantic cheap loft.
The poor people get shit on either way.
Hasn’t NYC traditionally been about 60-70% renters?
You can buy a co-op or condo. Will it be in the center of everything? No. You buy what you can afford where you can afford. If htat means a longer commute, then so be it.
Stop crying!
“Many jobs will never pay much more than that. Even at $75k a year, without any bonus, it would be very difficult for someone to save much and purchase something at today’s prices.”
Yes. And where is it said that everyone has an inalienable right to OWN a house?
I make well into 6 figures so this is not me being jealous or anything.
What I really want someone to answer though, is seriously, how is someone who makes $50k or so a year suppose to live in the city? Where do you suggest they buy a place?

2:17, that’s just absolute rot. It doesn’t even make sense, not to even go into facts of homebuying, or what a dollar can buy.
If people here making over six figures can’t save up to buy a house, how in the hell is someone below the poverty level supposed to?
Polem,
Should the brownstones be razed for some 60s-70s highrises? Is this your proposal?
Thank god the trash of Bed-Stuy will now be priced out. No more Section 8 housing garbage.
If you lived in the ‘hood for years, you could have bought a whole brownstone of less than $100K less than 10 years ago. Where were you then?
You poor financial planning is no one’s problem but your own.
