[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TV housing has never reflected financial reality.  It’s no more realistic than Elsa’s ice castle.[/quote]

Seriously.  How many struggling young writers/architects/etc on TV live in fabulous apartments in NY?  Sex and the City was realistic? Remember the movie Broadcast News?  I know the person who actually lived the house they used to film Holly Hunter’s place, and they made a LOT more money than her character would have. [/quote]

NYC used to be all renters and many rent controlled or rent stabilized. My aunt recently died at 91 in 2018. She lived in Gramercy Park. Her husband was a nyc police captain. She was a stay at home Mom. She got married at 19. Had kids right away and got her three bedroom apartment, with formal dining room and a parking spot at 23. She had it 57 years. She paid 750 a month rent when she died

I lived in NYC in a rent stabilized unit and we had some rent controlled people in building in 1996 paying $390 a month for tiny studios in Murray hill. My begin had hers 40 years.

They really slaughter rent control way back and only extremely elderly have them.

Wood Allen filmed Hannah and her sisters in Mia’s Faroh rent controlled apt.

Even Friend that is Monica”s aunts rent controlled unit. Seinfeld those are rent stabilized units. Even odd couple that is Oscars rent controlled apt.

People who were middle class often had big apartments  in Manhattan  [/quote]
