We ate from food pantries and the dollar store until we could get back on our feet. We were careful with the paychecks I received, and moved into a bigger apartment.
    I took jobs that I didn't want but knew I needed.

      Inherent right? First line in the bible is be fruitful and multiply. No where in the Bible does it say show me your income statement before you have a family. No one is asking to live wealthy with or without 4 chikdren. They are asking for modest affordable housing.
      A better way to think of this is how will jobs get done in the City if only the rich people can afford to live there? Rich people arent going to be janitors or maids or doormen or elevator operators or coffee baristas or preschool teachers or work in delis, restaurants, cafes, or any place. Those jobs are for the non-wealthy and if they dont have a place to live they wont do the job which lowers the quality of life in that city and every city.

    This is happening in LA too. The biggest reason is people constantly moving to these large cities from much smaller cities and towns from states that have much less to offer. So as long as there isn't a way to stop people from moving to NYC or LA, these cities are constantly behind the 8 ball trying to catch-up. Same is true with the homeless population the majority of homeless in both cities are not from the area.

I currently been bounced around from bay ridge to bath beach on the other side of BK and now these working - lower middle class hoods are getting very expensive as well. You really gotta make 75k year on up
    To live somewhat comfortably. 85k up for comfortability. For extreme urban mobility experience I have visited Istanbul Türkiye 🇹🇷 and now I’ll be checking out Paris. Other than Philly or Chicago or jersey city/newark .. no other place in America will give me nyc vibes so that’s why I’m checking out urban areas around the world. I gotta step up my French or Turkish to relocate. Istanbul is pretty dope but they’re also going through gentrification. Nyc started getting gentrified once Bloomberg changed the zoning laws in 2005. Rent in Bushwick went from $750/month for a 3 bedroom to 3k/month in a span of under 10 years.

If you pay attention to what's going on over there, you'd know how bad it is in Paris. And Turkey is involved in the Syrian war and has a complicated relationship with Russia. Personally, I think you're crazy if you move to Europe. And yes, Turkey is at least part European.

    Pennsylvania is now becoming like NY in terms of rental costs. To those who are thinking of moving here from NYC which is a tenant friendly state, you should note that Pennsylvania is landlord friendly. Tenants rights are few here no matter how horrible the landlord. Rents go up every year, you can also get frivolous charges such as “lease renewal” fees attached to your already increased newly raised monthly rents annually. Pennsylvanians also tend to move quite a bit due to rental increases. Do your research well before coming to this state.

    Why people live in New York is beyond me. You will have a way better quality of life living somewhere else. Unless you are rich, there is no reason to live in New York.

    Leaving NY is a good thing if you’re poor, Jersey PA and DE have cheaper better living. I never understood why these poor people in the projects live in NY

    It’s more complicated. Living below the poverty line means that you don’t work full time. Are those people unable to work full time? Are they unable to find work? If so, we need social service programs to support the disabled who can’t work and work training programs to help those who can to get jobs. You’re not going to make housing affordable for people who don’t work, especially in the most expensive city in the country where housing costs more to create than virtually anywhere else.

      In many cases is not that they don't work full time, is that a lot of people do not have high income.

      @@angelarivas7579 Not true. Minimum wage full time is over $30k a year, which is like double the poverty line. Unless you have like 6 kids with no support from the other parent, the only explanation for that is that you don’t work full time.

    They have no business putting housing projects on prime property like NYC…. That’s like putting housing projects on the beach… I was raised in a housing projects and very very few of these people work so being out of the city makes more sense

      Understand that to qualify for a 1 bedroom in Public Housing you can make up to 70K. Google it. What used to be no longer is. They're coming for ALL the stock.
