Interested 2 bedroom
It’s affordable for people with appropriate yearly income. Same as with apartments with income limits of 50K or less. Those making more cannot get them. It is fair that there are below market rate apartments offered for every income level.
Affordable NO. DeBlasio with his over building, of luxury buildings, Cuomo with his tax breaks for rich developers.
You realized you just described Trump exactly right? What a sad hypocrite.
Under regular city RE guidelines at 40x monthly rent, one would need to make just about $90K for the “affordable” studio. Not sure how city decides the threshold range to be far lower at $76k. No matter how you look at it, it’s not affordable for the working class and even middle income people. Rent is obviously too damn high….
This is being called “Affordable”? That is ridiculous. The Real Estate Developers have destroyed this City.
Affordable for who?
Who are these apartments affordable for?
The three bed prices are reasonable compared to what a three bed costs in the market. But yeas these studio prices are ridiculous. This is not affordable housing.
Why bother to call the apartments affordable if only to entitle developer to tax breaks?
Affordable for whom? $2,241/mo is NOT affordable for working class people.
Its robbery!
I would like to get 2 bedroom apt for 2 ppl
