Скачать или смотреть Inside a $200-a-Month Apartment in New York

In New York City, where the average rent can exceed $4,000 a month, a small number of tenants still live in apartments costing less than $200.

This video explores what life is really like inside one of New York’s rare $200-a-month apartments. From daily routines in a space barely larger than a hotel room, to the legal framework that allows such rents to exist, we examine the human cost and fragile future of rent-controlled housing in America’s most expensive city. As New York’s housing crisis deepens, these apartments reveal both the power — and the limits — of tenant protections in a city defined by scarcity.
