NYC is currently too expensive to raise a family. That's why people tend to leave.
NYC has less housing stock now than it did 2 decades ago, despite the population having grown by several Austins in that time.
The pandemic seems to have spurred a lot of political will to increase housing fairly significantly. We will need to see if this will translate into actual changes.
- 71a54xd 4y agoLiving with roommates past 27 is also kind of a deal breaker, along with paying $5k for a dilapidated 1br apt, enforced by the asinine dating market as well. By asinine I mean most women expecting male suitors to make over $400k, have their own apt and have a social life by age 26 even when they themselves go broke just paying rent. Also, the lack of housing is largely a result of landlords just not listing about 40% of their properties. Corporate landlords are just as guilty of this. It is genuinely more corrupt and rigged than the jewelry / diamond industry.
