There was an article in NYT (I think) recently that talked about how over the past 50 years or so that there was a reduction in something like 50k apartments in NYC because of people buying neighboring apartments and combining them.
- NoMoreNicksLeft 3y agoCan't NYC just start rebuilding all the old 1890s tenements and squeezing families of 12 into small apartments without bathrooms or proper kitchens? People need to live smaller.
- hn_throwaway_99 3y agoYeah, because of course I was referring to tenement conditions and families of twelve, as opposed to people building 10k sq ft mansions in the city. For reference, this is the article I was referring to: https://www.thecity.nyc/housing/2023/8/24/23843686/100k-apartments-lost-to-house-conversions https://www.thecity.nyc/housing/2023/8/24/23843686/100k-apar...
