Errr. I think there’s a big disconnect here.

1) NYC is not just Manhattan. The outer boroughs are also NYC and are far cheaper. Not Nashville cheap but livable. You don’t need 8 people in 3 bedrooms. You can even live in jersey.

2) A lot of NYC has affordable housing and projects. A lot of communities making the basic minimum wage or not at all can live there.

3) 110K is a absolutely doable in NYC. It’s just not doable if you live outside your means.
