I’m happy for her but I agree. Even when you get called from the lottery waitlist you have to supply soooo much documentation that it becomes a barrier. Life is so much more affordable outside of the U.S.

@holycrapchris 15 дней назад

She had an apartment before that she was paying market rate for. She didn't "need" to win the lottery for an apartment, but doing so allows her to live in a nicer space and increase her savings rate. Hopefully she'll be able to reach her goal of buying her own place, and then this apartment can be rotated to the next renter.

I don't think it's that people think it's acceptable. They may have accepted this reality and have normalized it but I don't think anyone truly thinks this is an okay way to be. However, in NYC and the US as whole, with more than half of Americans not having enough money saved to cover an emergency $1000 bill... And where the average income is about $50k or maybe it's higher now (I haven't checked in a while). And with rents being $3-4k per month for a central location. It's... Unfortunately the reality we live in. I for one wish we did not live in such a greedy society and adopted more government subsidized housing or required more affordable housing units for each newly developed building from developers. For some reason we just don't seem to prioritize affordable housing at all despite many citizens wanting this. It's tragic that the only way a lower middle class person can afford to live in the city they were raised in is to win a lottery. Bet you there are more people on the lottery than there are units available. It's probably a 1% chance of winning.

@HappilyCarnivore 7 дней назад

@@Pinkkermit17 Re: even the lottery price is overpriced. Not really. I live in a small town in Texas where the cost of living is MUCH lower than in NYC. I live in a really old and trashy trailer park. I've been here for 12 years and am thankfully grandfathered in at $450/month, but recently I asked my landlord how much the rent was for a new tenant and he's renting these old frankentrailers for between $800 and $900/month. Which I'll admit he's probably overcharging, but I just did a quick search and 1 bd 1 bth apartments don't go lower than $900, and the ones that low are not ones near as big and nice as the one this woman is in. Sadly rent and mortgage is just grossly unaffordable right now.

@tiffanyi5645 9 дней назад

I’ve actually won twice, the first time was for low income housing back in 2009 it took me a little under 2 years from the time I began applying. The second lottery was for middle income housing and went much faster! I began applying in Jan 2021 and was moved in by Nov 2021. I think the trick is a good credit score, once I authorized the credit check I was offered the apartment the same week and of course my rent and security deposit were ready to go. I pay $2200 for a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, in-unit washer/dryer and (my favorite!) a small balcony 🙏🏽❤️ my income at that time was $94k. I hope you get your Dream apartment good luck!!

@@irvinperez2987 There are definitely places in NYC where the rent is a lot cheaper than Flatiron. Places in the Bronx go as low as $600 for a 2 bedroom, but it heavily depends on what you're willing to give up in exchange for lower rent bc the neighborhoods... are not jogger friendly, if I'm phrasing it lightly. Regardless, NYC is def an EXPENSIVE city to live in.

I'm in Seattle and pay $1800+ utilities and they could EASILY charge $2400/month for my condo but I've been here for 8-9yrs and the landlord has been super amazing and kept the rent the same. That said, my wife and I live on my sole income(she's disabled and currently fighting to get disability)which at times can leave us with a couple hundred bucks to live on/a month. If I wanted the Seattle equivalent to the NY rent lottery, it's about a 10 year waitlist for the affordable housing program here which is..well..absurd? Crazy? I just can't believe we have to go to such lengths just to get by like "normal folks". The thought of buying a house/condo anywhere within several hundred miles is so outta reach, I've NEVER considered it! I hope something changes but as it goes it looks like corporate conglomerates and property companies will own all of the land/housing over the next couple decades and the younger generations will never have access to the generational wealth that we're supposed to be building with owning our own homes... Sad! Sad that for it to even be a POSSIBILITY, one has to win a "Housing Lottery"...

The ones after, I had already gotten my own luxury apt in the Bronx (yes, there are many luxury buildings there) so I wasn’t going to break my lease. Right before I moved to Florida at the end of 2023, I got called back like 10 times for different buildings but didnt take them because the rent was what I was already paying since my income had gone up. I also wanted to leave NYC. But its crazy how once I started making more money, the more call backs I was getting. I think its because the lower income brackets have so much competition.

My mother and brother live in an affordable apartment. Not through the lottery but after a decade on a waitlist. It's a two bedroom for a little over 1700 a month. The rents do go up if your income increases as you have to recertify every year or two years depending on your lease. She's lucky to have gotten something with such low rent as anyone that has applied for the housing lotto knows that the rents in many of these apartments are insane. My friend got called back for two (we work for the city) and she had to turn them down because it was like 2500 up for each.

I live in an affordable luxury building that I won via the New York City housing connect lottery. A lot of these buildings are going downhill because the clientele is horrible especially the tenants that are being moved into these buildings from the homeless shelter. My building is currently full of bonnets,bad BBLs, and unruly children.

My daughter won the housing lottery too. It enabled her to be able to live in the neighborhood she grew up in which would have been out of her reach due to gentrification! This needs to be offered more widely!
