Roughly 3.4 million houses and apartments 
make up our five boroughs today.

He’s promised to “create or preserve” 200,000 affordable housing units over the next 10 years.

The plan is to socialize the cost by blending rich and poor together, so the better off help those who are living at poverty level.

That means half will be expected to pay market rent over $3,000 per month, and the other half around $723 per family.

But I also wonder how many of our wealthy will 
think this is a good idea.
