As usual, J Frankl seems to always impress. The interiors look very nice too. This is a good building.
”
affordable studios with a $2,156 monthly rent” -How is this “affordable housing”?
Do you honestly think people are falling for this scam?
People are being ripped off of basic necessities that shouldn’t have a price. Food, water, housing, communications.
We are not sleeping, we are awake and conscious.
Greedy motherf…ers.
You are about to have a very rude and ugly awakening.
Get ready.
It is affordable to income range from $73,920 to $183,300
They didnt do interior. Durukan Design does the interior, but they dont mention at all.
How is this affordable housing?
This isn’t really affordable housing if someone making minimum wage can’t even afford it.
What a joke
Its only affordable to to the middle class in rich and not to those who are low income
Chileee again how is it AFFORDABLE housing again? It’s time to stop taking land for use of money for their own pockets just build properties and take affordable housing connection to it because there is none
Is nothing affordable about this…i lost my job due to covid and now I am staying at a friends house. They should facilitate housing for people like me
This must be some mysterious secret definition of the word “affordable” folks have in backwards land, when you have to earn 130% of median income to even be eligible in the first place.
That’s “affordable” housing??? People that make that much a year can afford and DO pay that much and more in rent. How about making things affordable for the people who don’t make $70,000.
I’m interested
I’ve been trying over a year im homeless living with family now but it’s hard im on a program i also receive SSI I’m really tired spectrometry upset please help me

I’m trying to understand how is lottery house for low income families if the prices are high for low income families that are trying to get out of shelters it’s hard the system is corrupt and it’s not for people in low income or poverty this system is trying to break people not help them prices wouldn’t be this high if it was trying to help people
Once again nothing for the low income families who need it most.
There were designs and business for residences, plus it; allowed me to look around beautiful that I had been accepted: Hello New York YIMBY.
I am looking for a one bedroom
I’m a grandmother of 6, my daughter died on 9/5/2020. Now I’m raising 5 kids in a 2 bedroom apartment. Need more room.
How do I enter the lottery?
I cannot create my account for low income NYS housing.
I waiting for years..
Exactly 13 years and nothing.

This is not affordable
Affordable housing is for the rich and affordable people are struggling and you guys are only designing these things for the rich
This is a Joke, all this in order to qualify for a studio you most make $73,920 this city is out of control
How is $2,156 for a studio affordable?
I’ve lived in Midtown Manhattan my whole life. On the west side it’s called Hell’s Kitchen. I would love to get out of this ZIP code if I know where the lottery is. So I can put in for it send me and my wife. Long Island City has changed so much I would love to live in that part of New York City. PS if anyone knows how to put the lottery in can you please touch base with me. Thank you very much
How can this be affordable, affordable for whom? Am a working single mom for the DOE and live in public housing which are crime are increase. I will love to move out of here, but I cant afford these affordable housing. Please be concrete with hard working people and peace in need of housing. Thanks.

How do I get on the list affordable housing lottery list for rent
This is beautiful but they are not going to be for the middle class the rent be extremely High
God-bless
This is not what public housing looks like.
I mean, that’s what Housing New York is supposed to be in theory right?
You YIMBY people need to stop being stenographers for the gentrification industrial complex of government and real estate.
Y’all be trippin’. You have to make $72K to afford to rent a studio? Hope the Covid exodus continues and they can’t get these prices!
This is nyc way of saying if you make below this income dont come
Is this a joke?
If you make 76K affordable housing for a 1 bedroom is 2200?
76K after NY takes us around 4000 a month … what is wrong with you people? This must be a joke? I hope they didn’t get tax write offs to build this and the. Pretend it’s affordable housing. You should be ashamed
It’s on a dead-end street next to train tracks to drown out the noise and happenings of nearby riff raff, but they’ll probably call it a “cul de sac” to make it sound safe as a “Desparate Housewives” suburb.
To all asking about affordable, yes this is the lefties in NYC which dont care for the people just for their name, deblazio wants to say he got affordable housing so giving tax grants for this crazy prices
I want an application for a one or two bedrooms please. Please forward me an application thank you very much.
WHEN ARE YOU PEOPLE GOING YO STOP WITH THE AFFORDABLE SND HOUSING CONNECT NEEDS TO STOP ADVERTISING AS AFFORDABLE THEY NEED A LAW SUITE ASAP and then they waste people time sending in documents to not be called when they qualify GIVE ME A BREAK
