Keep in mind that in NYC there are very high priced apartments, but there are also a LOT of low income housing/slums/projects where rent is dirt cheap, it's just that people live in terrible conditions compared to what that same rent could get you elsewhere.
- pavel_lishin 11y agoThat's actually another good question - does NYCHA and other low-income housing push the average down as well? I'm not sure what it takes to qualify to get rent assistance; seems like it's unreasonable to compare a luxury apartment on the Upper East Side to my apartment in Hamilton Heights to a low-income housing project.
