I was young and single at a point and lost a job, i was still able to live in my apartment at the time, and have unemployment, then got another job.
i didnt have to go to ny housing to get me a cheaper apt......

well, it studios now a days didnt start at 2K, maybe........

And perhaps most new jobs weren't DOWNWARDLY mobile.

I don't think it makes a difference. I know of people who used to work at Wall Street and who lived at rent stabilized apartments, and once they were laid off, lost their rent stabilized apartments and became homeless. Just because an apartment is rent stabilized does not mean the landlord won't expect a payment.

True,


But typically the RS or RC apartments have had much lower rents that might be manageable with an unemployment check or two, at least long enough to realistically find another job before ending up on the street.
Paying $3000 market rent on a stream of unemployment checks is not tenable for very long.
