NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Mayor Bill de Blasio defended his record on making New York more affordable and fighting for the city’s residents in the first Democratic mayoral debate Wednesday , while opponent Sal Albanese said de Blasio has failed at handling the homelessness crisis and mass transit woes . The debate was held Wednesday at Symphony Space, at 2537 Broadway on the Upper West Side . Albanese was the only other Democratic contender who raised enough money to qualify for the debates. De Blasio defended his record on numerous fronts – including his pushes for affordable housing , pre-kindergarten for New York City children , and community policing . The mayor said more than 2 million New Yorkers have benefited from a rent freeze on rent-stabilized apartments since he took office, and many have also benefited from free lawyers in the case of possible evictions. But Albanese, who served in the City Council from 1983 until 1988 and also ran for mayor in 1997 and 2013, said de Bl...

View Full Caption Corcoran Group MANHATTAN— Yes, New York City is way less affordable now than seven years ago. Case in point: An apartment going for $2,000 a month for rent in 2010 would now get $2,657 a month, a report published Wednesday from real estate search engine StreetEasy reveals. Compounding the city’s affordability crisis: rents in the city rose twice as fast as wages, according to the analysis, which compared the StreetEasy Rent Index with wage data from the city’s Department of Labor. While median rents increased 3 .9 percent a year since 2010, wages increased by 1.8 percent over the same period. Those working in the city’s lowest wage jobs were hit hardest. Low- wage earners — those in the bottom 20 percent of the workforce, which represent a little more than 800,000 of the roughly 4.1 million employed New Yorkers ...

The Ronkonkoma Hub could create a reverse commute from New York City image: tritec They’ve been called the selfie generation, entitled and lazy. But Millennials are now the largest generation and, after a decade of moving away from New York’s metro Long Island region , they are beginning to stick around. The number of people aged 20 to 34 living on Long Island rose 7 .6 percent from 2010 to 2015 according to a report released by Long Island Association in June. Despite the stereotypes, experts see the increase as reason for optimism. “It’s vitally important, particularly for businesses that make their home here,” said Robert Loscalzo, the chief operating officer of Tritec Real Estate Company, which specializes in the type of mixed-use housing this generation favors. “You need a vibrant workforce and from the standpoint of job creation it’s vital that companies have a source of labor.” But a home doesn’t necessarily mean a house, especially for Millennials. Nationwide, 34.1 percent of...

Anyone who’s even daydreamed of moving to New York City knows it’s far from a haven of affordable housing. If you’ve always felt like the ideal apartment is just out of your price range, you’re not alone. A new affordability report from StreetEasy shows that New York rents have increased at twice the rate of wages so far this decade, and all but the highest earners are feeling the squeeze. The StreetEasy study compared the real-estate site’s rent index to NYC Department of Labor wage data from 2010 to 2017 and found that citywide rents increased by an annual average of 3.9 percent , while wages rose just 1.8 percent year over year. The disparity is even more drastic for the bottom fifth of New York’s wage earners: Their pay has remained essentially stagnant while even the most cramped, out-of-the-way walkups have become nearly 5 percent more expensive each year. For entry-level professionals and those stuck in low-paying jobs, the struggle is very real. "New York City resid...

But the approved project, which follows nearly five years of legal action and negotiations between the city and Harbor Point’s developer over the demolition of another boatyard that has blocked further redevelopment, has sparked another lawsuit from an environmental opponent this year. “We expect the boatyard to be finished this fall,” said Ted Ferrarone, chief operating officer at Harbor Point Development LLC , a subsidiary of the Stamford- based developer Building and Land Technology (BLT). “The second phase of the project is a 218- unit apartment complex that is under construction now and will probably open next summer.” Ferrarone said the Davenport Landing project at 28 Southfield Ave. contributes to a “renaissance to the waterfront.” The boatyard, on ...

CHEYENNE – It has been a tumultuous couple of months for a tidy suburban neighborhood in north Cheyenne . Residents of The Bluffs started hearing about the affordable apartment complex planned for their western border near Converse Avenue in mid-spring. They got a presentation from Summit Housing Group at Anderson Elementary School , which sits in the northwest corner of the neighborhood, not long afterward. By most accounts, things became heated pretty quickly . “We tried to explain the project to community,” Summit senior project manager Sam Lang said. “But they just said, ‘We don’t want this.’” A similarly passionate Cheyenne Planning Commission meeting followed July 5. Commissioners’ attempts to explain their reasoning for recommending approval of rezoning and the importance of having affordable housing in the community came off to many in the crowd of Bluffs neighbors as politically correct nonsense . Similar concerns persisted in City Council committee meetings , though t...

Quizzes Lists Topics Save The Saxony Apartment Building is a historic apartment building in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Located along Ninth Street in the city's downtown, [1] this five- story brick building includes a distinctive range of architectural details. Among these elements are brick pilasters and projections, a three- story bay window on each side of the symmetrical main facade , semicircular balconies , and many stone pieces, such as pediments, keystones, and stringcourses.
