I get more money by splitting up my apartments into bedroom and i charge $200 a week per room. This way i get$800 per week for an apartment that i was getting $2000 a month for. Plus if you charge weekly you end up with an extra months rent at the end of the year
Who can afford this? This is not affordable at all.
Put the homeless in there, that will solve the homelessness in the subways, Its a win / win both for the homeless & MTA.
Affordable ??
