One of my sources is from the Community Service Society where I’ve discovered that the issue with New Yorkers feeling like housing in New York is not affordable is due to the inequalities of the economy between the wealthy and low income families. Affordable housing, good jobs as well as a great education is catered most moderately to the rich. Low- income families have to struggle with low wages and not finding an affordable place to live due to this disparity. This affects New Yorkers causing them to feel stuck with a hold on minimum wage increase and a diminishing middle class society. Policies need to be modified and advance upward in order to benefit all.
