After federal, state, and city taxes she’s lucky to bring home $40,000 out of which to pay rent, etc.

She refuses to go backwards in her living situation.
Well, we all want things we can’t have.
You pay a premium price to be in a nicer more upscale Manhattan neighborhood. That’s just a fact of life. Everyone here can name certain nicer areas in your hometown, which you will pay more to live in.

Let me start a ‘GoFundMe’ site for the poor thing.

The article says she make $200k after taxes. So probably $300-$350k before taxes.

She’s making $16k a month net so she can easily afford to spend $5500 a month on her apartment. Still leaves over $10 grand for utilities, food and other incidentals. SMDH.

She’s making 200k AFTER taxes and can’t shell out 1.5 million? She’s just cheap.

You are entitled to rent control if you have lived continuously in your apartment since 1965, or are the lawful successor to such a tenant.

A VERY small percentage of NYC apartments are truly “rent controlled.” There are rules all landlords have to follow about how much they can raise their rents, but there are ways around it. Rents are sky high in NYC right now. And people are paying them.

‘Twould appear that her income is far, far above her IQ. But, she’s in PR, so intelligence is not a factor.
