> inexpensive apartments in the city New York City resident here. There aren't that many inexpensive apartments. To put things in perspective, one new apartment building in my neighborhood came with about 100 affordable units that ranged in price from $500 to $900 per month. I'm sure that many people living in dying suburbs would love to move into the city and live in one of those apartments. But more than 80,000 people signed up for the lottery to get one of those 100 apartments. If you don't have money it is really, really hard to move to the city, and inexpensive apartments are hard to get.
