Reply to comment by [deleted] in NYCHA has 6,000 vacant units as it struggles to quickly make repairs by drpvn

Honest question, after all this why would you continue to live in such conditions? Surely your quality of life would be much better outside of the city if you couldn’t afford a better apartment. Even the worst Eastern European apartment blocks I’ve been to aren’t as bad as you describe your apartment.

Half of Americans don't have $1k in their bank accounts to cover an emergency.

Moving costs money. Who knows if they have a car or even a license? Sure, there are lower COL cities, but it's not easy to just pack up when perhaps some NYCHA residents don't know anything other than NYC.
