100,000 New York City Apartments Gone In The Middle Of A Housing Crisis
©Source: Wikimedia Commons / Freepik/wirestock

Amid a housing crisis, 100,000 apartments vanished in New York City. Thousands of city dwellers are left struggling to find a place to rent. With so many buildings in such a large metropolitan area, it may seem impossible. So, what really happened to the housing market? After all, these apartments had to go somewhere.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Rent Control?

Nope, they're pointing at gentrification and greed via the following statement: "...many New York City multi-family buildings have undergone conversions. More than 100,000 units have been absorbed into others, creating larger luxury apartments. This practice leads to more comfort and space for those expanding. However, fewer apartments are available for the hungry housing market."
Throwing our allegiances to political parties in the long run gave away our liberty.

I stand corrected!

Sounds like another woe to hang around the necks of people who decide to move in and improve the properties, while also spending more.  That evil Gentrification rears it's head.
