She’s been waiting 20 years. Could have earned an advanced degree in four years and made enough to buy a home 10 or 15 years ago. But, nope, would rather wait to hit the jackpot.
Our CA town requires developers to set aside “below market rate” units in every new project. Maybe 1 out of 1,000 win the lottery. Makes liberals feel so good about themselves because they “are doing something.”

”Abandon all hope, all ye who put faith in socialism.” Funny you should put it that way; I was going to say that it’s like people lining up, hoping to secure a spot in Hell.

The problem begins with millions of apartments grandfathered in to the occupants of rent-controlled, rent-stabilized, and rent subsidized apartments, which takes them all off the market, which shrinks the supply of apartments at market rates, raises the asked-for rents at market rates and helps MANUFACTURE (in addition to the zoning laws) the demand for “affordable” housing.
There is plenty of “affordable housing” in NYC - IF you are already an occupant in one of the rent-controlled apartments. If you are a new resident, or you move within the city, you are chasing after a supply shrunk by the rent-controlled give-aways already occupied.

There are plenty of inexpensive places to live in big cities but no sane person wants to live there. The affordable housing programs are just bribes to developers to reserve a few places below market prices.

I still don’t understand the concept of rent control.
