New York's affordable housing lottery is open, with 1 bedroom apartments going for as low as 2.8K

Breh...what? 
All I'm saying is moving to the cities from the suburbs is backwards. How does someone go from living in a family house in a nice area to living in an apartment in the city? At least be the only person living in that spot and that place is in a nice area. Hope it's benefitting whoever is doing it because from what I'm seeing, folks are wasting their time.
And that recession is coming. There's gonna be a lot of people leaving NYC this year broke as fukk. All this gentrification about to come to a screeching halt.

This thread is about a one bedroom. From the links you posted you clearly see the 900/1000 + apartments are 2 and 3 bedrooms. So yea, a 2.8k place is not the norm.
What's the damn appeal of the South?
it isn't for everyone but for 2800/mo you could build a mansion damn near and have more than enough home if you spent less than half of that. Plus you could use that extra money and save it or travel or whatever you want. The pay disparity isn't that big like most would have you believe, but lots of people do like that city life. If that's what you like, I'd suggest Dallas, Houston or Atlanta and imo definitely on par with any other big city. Nashville, Memphis, are nice too and Birmingham is growing but it's still just a midsize city, but plenty to do, but again it's definitely not NY.
To me it boils down to this, if you're from the south you most likely like it, if not, you more than likely have to just visit and get out if you haven't been.

I'm in North County...the city is crazy right now... But they got 500k homes in Southeast Daygo!!!!...gtfoh
Some folks would tough it out for a little bit, knowing they only gonna stay for a few years. For the experience of it but mainly because that shyt looks good on your resume for the corporate folks. it’s a lot easier to negotiate a higher salary coming from there. It’s not for me but I understand it, and it makes sense if that’s what you want to do.

Y’all need to chill with hyperbole. Most housing lotteries aren’t nowhere near this price, most are around 800-1500.
Thats true. I stay hearing folks moving into NYC and coming back with nothing. The funny part is that there's a lot of people basically doing the same shyt so it's way too competitive. All that networking and etc, yet they could do what they do at home with the help of the Internet so don't know man. I guess it works with certain occupations like in the tech industry or wall street/banker jobs. I do see that NYC has a lot of artists or people that want to be in the entertainment business which that's like pointless especially in certain parts where there's hipsters.
This shut disgusting I see why a lot of New Yorkers are movIng to Philly
