Did you see the thing at the bottom about micro-apartments?
A grand a month, for “affordable” lower income units (which in NYC is $48K apparently) with 250-350 square foot.
Back in the 90s I was paying about $300 for maybe 600-700 square feet, a lawn with trees and detached garage in Abilene, Texas.
I don’t care if I won the lottery: you couldn’t pay me to live in a big city. The suburbs are bad enough: I’m actually kinda upset that the last local feed store is being gentrified into a feed store themed eatery.
My first apartment was in a new complex with two nice pools and a clubhouse. 1 bedroom, 1 bath but lots of big windows, decent kitchen, private covered deck in the rear. Plenty of space for me, living area not too small to have friends over. $275 a month. 1988.
Ditto
I have an acre and a half of QUIET and privacy - and can grow my garden - and flowers, and watch the birds, occasional deer/moose stroll across the back.
Most Vets don't do so good in cities with the noises - 'INCOMING!"
Don't have to lock my house or my car. Know everyone and they me. If I needed help, I wouldn't even have to ask.
I posted the article, not because I think the people involved with these houses are anyone to deal with - but for the IDEA - that could be used for a Vets Housing program. - across the country.
