Seen a few but never afford

id love to pay 300$ in that appartment that would normally cost 6000-7000$ 🤯 thatd be a dream come true lol

Repent to Jesus Christ “For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭3:12‬ ‭NIV‬‬ K

Yes

Sure but chances are you will no qualify, the max incomes are very low for these. New building do require a portion of their units to be rented for rent stabilization, that's great but some developers went as far as putting in separate lobbies/entrances for rent stabilized tenants, I wouldn't care as my mortgage is Brooklyn is $3600 for my apartment and would love to have a place for $1200 per month for rent but point being is that separate entrance, really?

💯!

They need some of these buildings in Boston. Maybe the new mayor will do something about it.

Well said

Your hard-earned tax money at work. Got to love it. Privatize the gains socialize the losses.

@@marywood8794 We need these everywhere.

What's wrong with the area? Could you go into detail?

What was wrong with the area??...

The rent is definitely insane in NY!

When we lived in NY we just added roommates. 🙃

Lived here my whole life… I’m 19 now looking for an apartment, been looking forever it’s the hardest thing and I make about $5 above minimum wage which is $15… it’s nearly impossible..also did I mention I have no pets and no kids

@@smakthatsmileback-jg2dn huh minimum wage in NYC is 15$ you don't make 5$ more than min wage. Maybe you make more than new york state min wage, but NYC is def 15$

well your a lucky ducky!

Some of the amenities cost extra in this development. They're not included in the rent you pay. It's on the leasing/lottery page for the building that Cash linked to above.

@@infamyinfamy thank you for pointing that out. I must admit I don't like that. In my case the "winners" didn't go around touting it . The developers said " it's human nature for some haves to be grudge the have nots or have less" . I always thought that sucked. Hopefully the winners can afford all the things that make this space special.

How can I get in the apartment Lottery son.

@@beeblack2210 yes how does it work, Just curious..🤷🏻‍♀️

🇨🇦 too! No one should be living in cockroach/ bedbug infested apartments rented out by government housing/ That’s Right! Winnipeg Manitoba Kennedy St!!!

For real!!!! Would you believe a studio is $1,800-2,000 per month nothing included

@@maryvidal2605, that is ridiculous. Even $900 for a studio here in Ocala, Florida is out of my hard working price range. I can only afford an $800 a month place.

@@springbrown9769 Sounds like you haven't made very good decisions.

well it sucks for LITERALLY everyone who did not win the lottery to get in

And tbh that’s okay. These should go to NY residents first who have been struggling with the high right prices.

It’s a lottery so I’m thinking it’s randomly selected

@@AlizabethIbanez yeah it’s literally a lottery. Anyone relying on this hard is a bit of a cope. Like sure it’s cool but it’ll only effect a handful of people which is better than nothing but not a majority

I can take a bit of teezing. But try to see things from a female perspective, you have a wife and daughter. Because they are female they will be told such nonsense for the rest of their lives. This isn't working for many women who expirence sexual abuse every day. I was trying to help you see how we feel. Thank you for all your hard work.

@@kathysemrau2301 Ummmm 🧐 Could it be you replied to the wrong comment ?

@@kathysemrau2301 Huh???

How does the high income earner who works in NYC but can’t afford to live there themselves but their taxes pays for someone else to live there win?

@@Nick-hj8bg High income earners in NYC made adjustments long ago even if it meant relocating & commuting to the city. High income earners don’t expect to pay $500 rent unless they invested in property years ago when the market was lower. Each lottery holds its own income criteria. Just know many of these properties aren’t 100% occupied bc even tho its affordable high income earners won’t apply. Many highfalutin residents expect grandeur even when residing with a percentage of low income neighbors. One dwelling on the west side of NYC once challenged the board to dismiss “others” from utilizing various building amenities. Talk about snob nosed 🙄 Whereby builders set aside discounted apartments to ADA, zoned residents, various unions, corporations then what’s left is offered thru lottery. This practice affords builders tax abatement of at least 10 or more years. 20 year abatements were once offered about 25 yrs ago. I have no clue what’s the current rate. Basically YOU have a better chance finding a four leaf clover in Strawberry Fields in the 110 acres of Central Park than winning that lottery. So yeah high earners managing any/all the above to secure one of these brand new affordable apartments in NYC mos def know it’s a win win. Also in most cases tenant pays Con Ed electric but National Grid gas is included in monthly rent. Good luck 🍀

With a population just under 8.5 million that should cover it.

Where is that location?

@@Kangaruworld1 Address: 1-15 57th Ave, Queens, NY 11101

How do you apply for one of those apartments

They have 1 apartment that rents for $397/month! The rest rent for more $/month than the 1 shown!

@@Lissa11638 what’s their website or name?🫶🏻

You are incorrect. That is against fair housing to deny use of amenities to low income or stabilized renters. That's a law suit waiting to happen.

@@denisehall4226 @expat annie is not totally wrong. DeBlasio banned the inclusion of poor doors back in 2015 but before that it was cool with Bloomberg. Separate entrances (aka poor doors) to the rent stabilized apartments and no allowed usage of the amenities (even if they were willing to pay extra) was a thing developers of these high end buildings included in their plans. I remember a situation on the UWS being on the news back then.

doomed hahaha, i guess working hard and smart to be the real Elit is the way to look up to😅

@@denisehall4226 You're probably right. I just recall reading something about this at some point: maybe a developer was planning to do this or there was in fact a law suit. At any rate, the apartment is great -- too bad NYC doesn't have a lot more of them for normal folks.

Read the website. Not all apts. have nice views. All the extra amenities cost more. No fees were listed.

You don't know how new York works! The rent stabilized apts go to the owner's friends

@@waynegray7130 Merry Christmas, Grinch. You think the lottery is rigged?

@@653j521 Sadly, K Kr it is. As is mostly every single thing in NY. ((

@@waynegray7130 You know it Wayne!! It's not what you know, it's who you are related to...lmao!!!

This is one of the most expensive neighborhoods to live in NYC I use to work in Astoria which is its next door neighborhood. Sooo this is amazing for rent

That’s nice

Everyone have like a 1% chance of winning it.

@@saulgoodman2018 That's better than for the other lotteries people enter. In this case, what do you have to lose? Cynics will never enter so will never win.

Except it is not really. The vast majority of this building will be market rate. There will be a lottery for the small percent of apartments designated for lower incomes and I guarantee those apartments will not have the best views or include all of the buildings amenities.

@@MR-hu3ht and there will likely be a "poor door". I totally get it but we have to admire Cash's willingness to highlight their availability. Thanks again, Cash.

@@MR-hu3ht I agree with everything your saying except for the amenities. If you live there they can’t single you out because that would be discrimination.

@@elizabethwade9615 You can disagree but you are wrong. Go read the website, it states quite clearly that certain amenities are not included in the lottery apartments. I suppose you can offer to pay more if you want. Other buildings have done this. They issue different codes and key fobs for those paying full price versus the lower income people.

​@@MR-hu3ht I believe what you are saying I have just never heard of such a thing. I am sure if someone took them to court they could win on a discrimination ruling. I have lived in low income and sec 8 housing and never been singled out because I pay less. You have certainly enlightened me and now I would never consider moving to any of those new lottery buildings. It's bad enough to swipe the SNAP card and have people sayin' crap but my home is my refuge.

Yup! It is best to review the contract, the apartment and the area with the real-estate lawyer to ensure that the apartment management do not take advantage of you.

So true!

Cities by and large are not interested in solving homelessness and there will never a concerted effort to get more low waged people housed in decent accommodation.

Income level is below poverty line when monthly rent is only $300.

That won't solve most homelessness. Most homeless people have mental issue and need proper care in insane asylums. In apartments they will hurt and kill people.

My daughter's been trying for a year to get into a LIC apartment. Since we're already in Queens she's not in a super rush, but she really wants her own place.

@@panamasrose it's really next 2 impossible & the rents there are thru the roof.

@@MamaCarola1 But not impossible, so keep trying.

I have been trying( and waiting) to hear back from these lotteries places and I fear you are right about if you're not already in NYC its damn near impossible to get into a place. I live a few states away from NY and I applied over 6 months ago and still havent heard anything.

edit: I applied whenever the lottery opened and I did not realize the building was still in construction!

Always say low income or rent stabilized and when you apply you never get call and next thing they are renting the apartment from $1,500 and higher.🤔🤪😉😕😟🙁☹️😣

Rent stabilization will only decrease the supply of apartments. Who wants to spend millions only to lose money on their investments?

@@LawDawg717 my concern is not real estate developers pocket books or investment portfolio. My concern is affordable housing homelessness and gentrification. See I would rather buy than rent, it’s a waste to rent, but you got to be smart to play the game.

@@OliveVlog If you're so concerned, then spend millions of your own money on building apartments to lose money on.

New York homeless shelters give them 1 way tickets here. I work with the homeless in Asheville and have heard that same free one way ticket story hundreds of times over the years.

@@LawDawg717 that's what's going on in Atlanta. If you price out apartments higher than what people are or can afford, what you think going to happen. Amazing how you try to talk smart, but yet don't understand the bigger picture

Watching his video is like being there in real life like the games i play as a kid but not a chance I can go anytime soon

The London boroughs are too busy selling off every last scrap of land they own to big developer, and then spend billions on buying homes at market prices and for temporary accommodation. I follow a blogger who writes about the goings on in Greenwich and Lewisham boroughs and it makes me angry how little commitment there is to poor, working people.

Couldn't agree more

I happen to live in Lewisham and its getting bad..

@@FakeTaxi_ I grew up in Eltham. I live in the US now and for all America's shortcomings, things seem a little easier here.

The government have managed to try and skew its figures on house building. Social housing in the UK was one of the great advances. They screwed that up, by introducing 'right to buy' and then not reinvesting the money. Its all about profit and lining the pockets of the rich. I have a council flat, and I know how very very lucky I am.

They get away with charging what they charge because people pay it. If people didn't pay it, prices would lower.

Where do I apply for this??

Wish we had rent stabilize in California

but is it in a flood plane?

They do lotteries for these apartments. They never hit the market. Tens of thousands of people apply for each apartment

@@peterwelby oh interesting. Not from NY didn't know that.

@@sundinfamforlife4129 you really thought they would put a place like this up for 300? Lol

Its a lottery, Its technically not "low income housing. You have to "win"first/ be picked against hundreds of thousands of other NYC applicants, THEN you have to go through a whole process just to accept you. They are specifically called "lottery" apartments for a reason.

How about not living in one of the most expensive cities in the world? Is that not an option?

YEP, I JUST DID, THANK YOU

My mom and I applied too . I pray we get it 🥰💪🏾💯

🙏🙏🙏

Love the jaunty angle of his hardhat 😄

But you probably have to make next to nothing in income to qualify.

@@kimberlyfoust2815 you are correct...if you're working class/middle class you don't qualify...nyc is for the very rich or very poor...

@@kimberlyfoust2815 people always forget the consequences

That's his job

for one lease period. eventually you can and will be pushed out of a place like this, rent control is not the solution.

SO DID I, GOOD LUCK
