This is awesome. I'm personally not familiar with the Housing Lottery so it's cool to hear people's experiences. If you don't mind explaining this a bit more - I'm curious to know what was the process for you?

Congrats!

@@KO-D00M me too

Congratulations. Do you have to pay rent through the Housing Lottery?

@@trulocks Yes! Apartments in NYC are not FREE!

That sounds like a convent. For how long do you think the girls would stay single? And does your idea include the boys that pretend to be women too?

It would be cheap housing for young girls starting out and retired persons could live cheaply as well. These girls would eventually move out. It would be like the YWCA.

Wonderful idea!

I like this idea!

Great idea! Ditto for any abandoned public or private building that could be adapted in that way. In Europe they have such combined student-retiree living arrangements, where students get free or cheaper housing in exchange for spending time with and organising events for their elderly resident neighbors. It has been wildly successful with both age ranges thriving! That should be the norm everywhere! How sad though that colleges should be closing. Why? To the contrary, they should be opening more. Is this part of the continuing post-Reagan-Bush dumbing down of Amerika stage 4 metastisis?

I was just thinking the EXACT same thing. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

i know its weird haha

😆

Yea I feel like vintage should be at 50 years not 30 lol

Thank you so much :)

Thank you so much Cathy 🥰

Louder for those in the back 👏👏👏

yessss thanks :)

that is a young female who is not mature enough in her speech & it's 'nerves' ..not exactly a professional speaker...hopefully it wears off

🤫🤫🤐🤐

It’s called upspeak or uptalk…similar to vocal fry, it’s a way of speaking that has been most commonly associated with young women. Upspeak is often seen as a sister or cousin to valley girl speech patterns. There are actually presentation programs that help you undo the effect.

@@maddscientist3170 you have so many thoughts and opinions

clip of the bathroom was in the beginning

@@maddscientist3170 Thanks, it went by so fast. I saw it on the replay.

The bathroom wasn't actually shown. I wanted to see the actual layout, sink, tub/shower, toilet, storage, etc.

Aww I thought you had a video of your lottery apt. You should consider- Williamsburg is great 😊

A free apartment in a luxury building like this? No, that would never be the case. For a little context, the housing in NYC has gotten more and more expensive over the years but people's income has remained the same. This has caused so many people to be pushed out of their affordable apartments because the property owners keep raising prices, there are people who move here that are willing to pay these ridiculous, so prices keep going up and people are unable to find places to live or they have to share an apartment with several roommates. The city came up with the idea of the "lottery" where they give tax breaks (or make it a requirement in order to be allowed to build) to developers building new expensive properties. The developers must make a certain amount of the new apartments less expensive than the others in the building aka "affordable" and people have to apply to be put on a waiting list of thousands of other people who need an affordable apartment. There's only a certain amount of "affordable" apartments available in these new luxury buildings, lets say 10 out of 100 new apartments. This is where the "lottery" come in; out of the thousands of applications, 10 people get randomly picked to move into one of the 10 apartments. If they meet the requirements, such as income, they get to move in but still have to pay the rent for their unit (as well as their utilities & other bills) and they can still be evicted if they don't pay their rent.

@@dnereaux What's considered "affordable" in NYC?

thank you@@dnereaux

New buildings get tax credits if they allocate a certain percentage of the units to be affordable to people making below a certain income. If you make below that income and meet the other qualifications, you can enter a lottery to be offered the opportunity to rent one of these apartments, which are normally significantly cheaper than market rate.

Housing connect

It's affordable rent. Where the amount you pay is depending on your income

@@Naturefan354 awesome

hahah right :)

@Nella Vee Thank you. Do you surmise that, or do you know that is how it works? I had surmised that as one of the possibilities, but was asking to know for sure, if someone has direct, verified knowledge of this program. Btw, what is the program called? Does it have a website?

@Nella Vee Thank you. It would still be good for thi content creator to clarify which was her program.

Completely agree. When she said “tidy,” I’m like “where?”

Thank you!

that's NYC for yah!

Unnecessary

that's your takeaway from a house tour? wild

Aww that's a bit harsh, we can't gel with everyone.

The host of the show is like this with everyone. She speaks to people as if they are children or have a mental problem.
