That is reasonable compared to Manhattan. Don’t have the salary that commensurate with a degree in basket weaving or primitive cultures? There is always the nyc housing authority. they have wonderful affordable housing with million dollar views
And That’s affordable Housing, What a joke.What a shame. That’s one of the reasons why I left New York and Moved to Nashville Tn. I love New York but many make it a terrible city to live in. Sad but true.
You have no idea what NYC is like, you don’t live here. Now go to a rodeo.
Great, more housing that me, a city employee who earns less than $50,000.00 a year, cannot qualify for. Such a shame to see housing deemed “affordable” when middle income earners cannot even qualify, let alone a city employee. This is why people are leaving this city in droves!!
