Low income people gentrified out of NYC are going to magically afford a nice place in the suburbs? Of course not. If they remain in the area they move to poor suburbs or poor towns in PA.

Some go to the South, and some even go to the Caribbean.

Some that stay within city limits live with relatives and close friends combining 3-5 (or more) low income wages to make ends meet.

This is very true. This is not only immune to NYC. Plenty of legacy cities such as NYC, DC, SF have very expensive suburbs that ring around outside of the city. A home in these areas cost just as much as coop or condo in a hip area, up and coming or even established neighborhoods of the cities they left. NYC suburbs are very expensive and are not affordable at all. Properety taxes are expensive, to get a round one needs a car coupled with high insurance rates.
