NYC doesn’t allow you to lease a rent-stabilized apartment unless you live in it. There have certainly been cases of fraud, but on the whole it seems to be enforced well enough.
- anthony_d 5y agoAhh… a city famous for its reasonably priced housing.
- Wowfunhappy 5y agoYou're joking, but actually, one thing I think people miss is that New York is significantly more affordable than San Francisco, Paris, Hong Kong, and other cities of its class. I think our housing policies deserve credit for that. There's tons of room for improvement, but we do some things right and you can see the results!
- shuckles 5y agoNo it’s not? Rents are higher in New York than Paris or San Francisco. It’s hard to make the exact comparison because incomes are lower in Paris and San Francisco is a worse city, but New York’s affordable housing policy is 100% just the subway and Jersey City. Everything else should not be emulated at any cost.
