A new affordable housing lottery has opened with 33 units on offer in a large Long Island City development.
The units, located at 42-10 27th St. in a building called One LIC,
include studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments.
Applicants have until June 9 to apply and units will be awarded to
qualified tenants via a lottery. Studios will start at $2,241 per month, with three-bedroom units going for as high as $3,283 per month.
The building, which is 21 stories and contains 110 apartments, is located adjacent to the Queensboro Plaza subway station which serves the N, W, and 7 lines.
The new building boasts a rooftop deck and includes other amenities such as a public lounge, party room, laundry room and bike storage.
Parking is also available at an additional cost.
One LIC, like one city right? ROFFLOFL
A "party room"
And parking, I thought the idea behind these towers was to discourage people from driving?

The thing that I do not understand is how the press and the electeds and just about anyone in any position of power talks about 'affordable' housing at those income levels - and everyone lets them get away with it outside of a few quiet comments.
No damn sense at all

Only the meshuga will move there !
Looks like it affordable for people who earn a good NYC salary. The prices are not bad compared to the rest of LIC.
@Anon re: not bad
Supposedly the reason behind this affordable housing program is that it's supposed to help the people who don't earn a good NYC salary and to bring down inequity.
And people with a good NYC salary don't need to enter a lottery and wait for housing, they can get an apartment themselves faster.

"Bring down inequity" didn't work in the U.S.S.R. and won't work here !
Keep Dreaming...
As someone who used to live in NYC and make that income for a studio, that is NOT AFFORDABLE or even really able to do on that amount of money. Why do so many still live in NYC. It is not like it is a unique city anymore and just so overcrowded, noisy and dirty.
That is the point - its a sham to use that expression. They on purposely juice up the numbers by including Westchester.
Again, I have no idea why everyone uses that expression a straight face or without 'quotes'.
Its just jivin' as they say. Just BS as I say.
Free to live where you want to said...
Not everyone in the World can live in N.Y.C. !
Can't afford it move and stop bitching.
