Reply to comment by SchaeferJ17 in Not Even This City Councilman Can Find an Apartment in New York City by CactusBoyScout

No one’s going to feel sorry for someone making $150k not being able to find the perfect apartment. Talk about being tone deaf.

You missed the point of the entire article dummy.

The point is that making $150k is no longer considered a bench mark upperclass goal as it once was.

$100k plus is the new middle class and even with that amount of money, it’s not a middle class cake walk like it was pitched to most of us throughout the 80’s/90’s/00’s.

Of course Chi will be fine but he’s using this as a jumping off point to discuss how fucked the economy is for people under the age of 50.

He’s literally in the top .1% of 24 year olds. He’s going to be fine.

The point is we should stop focusing on this guy no one cares about and hone our anger at whatever is wrong with our current system that are causing rents to be some damn high
