Are you people so lazy and incompetent you can't actually look this up for yourselves? No wonder you all languish in mediocrity.

Well, aren't you a nice one?

Anyway, the middle-income apartments I checked all seem to top out at $134,000. I see nowhere where a couple earning $200,000 get taxpayer assistance.



"Couple" is not the same thing as "family of four". We'll add illiteracy to the list of shortcomings.

I saw it said "family of four," but I imagine the the kiddos aren't contributing to the $200,000. Besides, it says $134,000 for a family of four. Show me where a family earning $200,000 is sucking off taxpayers, and I'll have an interesting editorial to submit.

(And no need for me to outline your shortcomings. Anyone reading your lovely posts already has an idea.)

....plus, New York City is running a deficit of billions of dollars. Subsidized housing should be for poor people, not people who make $200,000.

...and they shouldn't. People with incomes of $200,000 should not be leaning on taxpayer support. If they can't afford Manhattan, let them move to Brooklyn.

No way. 200k is 10k/month after tax in NYC at most. No way a family of 3 or 4 can afford 5k rent onnthat.

No wonder NYC residents are taxed up the wazoo! You mean there aren't apartments that rent for $4,000 or $5,000 a month? A family earning $200,000 should be able to afford that. My sister lives on an income of $160,000 (combined with her husband, no kids), but they live in Brooklyn and commute into Manhattan. Very nice 2-bedroom apartment, overlooking the river. She never mentioned any subsidy, though, and she would have told me.

That's a little misleading, depending on what you mean by subsidized housing. For "true" low-income subsidies, aka Section 8, it's in the $60s for a family of three and in the $70s for a family of four. Much lower cut-offs than six-figures, unless you have a dozen kids!

They also have what are known as "middle-income" housing, and that does go up above $130,000, depending on family size. The family does get some advantage, but I'm not sure exactly what it entails.
