cuz she is
The reality is that her subsidized rental is far nicer than any of the market-rate places she’s lived in previously.
Subsidized rental.
Meaning that, it’s not really affordable if the subsidy wasn’t there.
What would the rest be without the subsidy? Subsidy means that, others are paying part of the rent.
$623 in rent. She’s a fool.
New York supports squatters rights to invade your property and live there for FREE!
Or declare yourself an immigrant and get put up in a luxury hotel. Also for FREE!
Get with the program, lady.

“She sounds like a mooch”
Don’t blame her. Blame the system.
Kinda like winning the Powerball except at least the Powerball is funded by people who volunteer to throw their money into the pot.
It had exactly the opposite effect.
The rental rates were so low the 1960s hippies never moved out so young families have no affordable place to live
This resulted in a housing shortage that persists to this day.
Many of the hippie crowd still live in the same houses they took over 50 years ago .
The only way to get rid of them is when they die.
What is the purpose of this article? Is it to upset those who pay higher taxes to subsidize these moochers or to anger the poor that haven’t been as fortunate to get into a “classy” project? Because this is going to tick off both constituencies.
I’m guessing that the real point of this article is to glamorize public housing in the hopes that it will make people on the brink of financial destruction less likely to vote their pocketbook in November.
Government economic nonsense that sooner than later shuts down the economy. Everyone loses and there’s your forced government “equality”.
she was a winner of a lottery.
the dumb masses will be told they can get the same as her some day.
She doesn’t understand where the money comes from to subsidize her
Rent control and these subsidized housing programs are tools of the Democrats. They use housing as a reward for loyalty. I’ve known many people who had rent control apartments. Not one of them was poor. Some had sailboats (40’+) and drove Mercedes. Many had beach houses. Most poor people had no chance of getting one.
One woman I worked with was losing her apartment. She almost had tears in her eyes saying she couldn’t afford to pay market rate rent. She wore Louis Vuitton purses and Louboutin shoes.
I probably isn’t much of a subsidy. I lived in a coop in Manhattan, a nice building with a doorman, and I paid about $520 maintenance. That covered the property tax, the salaries of our staff of ten workers, the building mortgage, and various other things. The primary expense in an apartment building is the capital cost, and we all owned our apartments. It’s probably up to $600 a month or more by now, but the actual cost of running a building is not that high.
What passes for politics in Democratic states is the attempt by everybody to live at the expense of everybody else. At some level, people should realize that everybody CAN’T be subsidized. Even that the idea that the majority can live at the expense of the rich is unworkable, as the rich aren’t stupid enough to be much exploited. Nevertheless, a lot of people can get sucked into lives of being subsidized by others, whether through rents subsidized by those who aren’t subsidized, health care that’s subsidized by the medical payments of others, and even free or reduced cost cell phones paid by those who aren’t subsidized. Low cost tuition based on skin color disguised as need, student loan forgiveness, and make-work DEI jobs. Subsidies for electric vehicles, wind and solar energy, and enumerable other parts of the green agenda. The list of subsidies is simply endless. At some point, the system become so corrupt, you think you’re just getting some of your own money back. But, no, it’s a foo’s game; and, we are ALL made much worse off.
gloating is not a good look
i believe al sharpton had six rent controlled apartments
This entitled, smug little wench got lucky in a lottery to obtain subsidized housing far below market value, and she’s claiming that this proves that housing costs for normal people haven’t skyrocketed? That everything we’ve been told about affordable housing is wrong?
She has everything I’d never want. We are thrilled to death living in the sticks as rugged individuals with freedoms New Yorkers never had and never will have.
