Super important idea. Need to encourage city workers to live in the city. If I live in the city that's when I would care about the neighborhood, crimes and all other negative issues. An this is the only time someone would genuinely care about to think of a realistic solution. Need to encourage city workers to be part of the city.
For the low salaries we get paid compared to the private sector, it is impossible to afford a home in NYC (which is a residency requirement for city workers) on the salary we get paid. There are no incentives to live in NYC when you get paid well below the average in private sector and cant afford a home in this market.

There should also be an additional 10% down payment assistance for city employees as well as reduced mortgage rates. At this point, salaries do not cover rent and transportation. Living paycheck to paycheck does not allow one to save enough for a down payment, emergency fund, retirement, etc.
We do not leave from paycheck to paycheck. We are underliving actually. Borrow against next week when you get paid and return to your lender. Only grace period we have is when we get paid 3x in a month.
There used to be Home buying programs targeting City employees, offering assistance with down payments, giving 1st dibs on new developments etc... Atlantic Yard development was one, when they were seeking support they promoted homeownership for City workers.... I signed up over 20 years to purchase a "townhouse" ... never heard anything! We work in a city that we can barely afford to live in. Revamp such programs that really take into consideration the salaries of civil servants and promote home ownership as a benefit to working for the City!
All city employees income varies. I think this is a great idea having something that belongs to just us.Some of these new landscaping high or low risers should only be for City employees. Lottery the apts between incomes this way no one is left out regardless of incomes. And regardless of credit you work you got in.
It is somewhat fantastic, and yet check out the advice at this treat. Measurementstuff
