One sure thing is apartments become less and less affordable. I'm surprise that average age of Manhattan building is 78.

Great graphical representation of info. I've often said Queens doesn't have enough trees for me to consider a move and now the stats bear out my feelings.

I found it interesting that rents between Brooklyn and the Bronx are not all that different, although the trend is actually becoming greater starting in the mid 2000s. All that Brooklyn marketing is having an effect!

It is a very good representation of the differences between NYC and the rest of the country.

Like bill, I am surprised that fully HALF of apartment buildings in Manhattan were put up before 1933? Hard to believe. (Also "average" can have lots of shades of meaning. I prefer "median.")

I suppose that if you weighed it by apartments the date would be much more recent because the size of newer buildings has gotten immense.

My former neighbor who was a sociology professor used to say "NYC is a rent controlled city".

I'm shocked by the share of multi-family properties that are rent regulated. Almost all of western Queens is 80%-100% rent regulated?!

At a time long ago rent regulation was universal for everything smaller than 3 units.

It seems logical in a town where the vast majority of residents are renters...this presumes some degree of actual Democracy. Why would renters not pass laws protecting renters?

Alas real democracy is getting scarce since money has been granted personhood and THE VOTE so the pendulum is swinging away from renter rights as big money now makes the laws through bought representatives.
