Priced Out of New York City

This story of a woman who has to leave New York City, because she can’t find affordable housing is bumming me out this morning. She’s a middle aged, freelance creative type, who has nested in Park Slope for 30 years. She’s deeply in debt and depressed. The city has gotten more expensive, and she’s in a field that favors the young. Ageism and housing have conspired against her.
