in public housing uptown was able to get a studio in the Avalon on Bowery and Houston paying like 700 a month. At the time he was sharing a room with his younger sister. Now he is a counselor in ENY. My girl's aunt and her family got an apartment in the nice ass building right across the street from him. She has TWO apartments somehow that she got off the lottery. Who knows who she's fucking for that.

Another dude I know lives on the north side of Central Park with a CRAZY view of central park... from his BALCONY. Dude is a trainer at NYSC but recently had a child.

Supposedly there are two buildings going up at the City Point site on Willoughby and Flatbush Ave Ext. One whole building is market value, one whole building is 'affordable'. Never seen housing broken down into two separate buildings, instead of the usual 80/20 or whatever in the same building.
