  2. I live in Queens. Most people in my neighborhood are working class. I am not surprised. For me, it’s normal. House in New York City is very expensive. Many people rent apartment instead of owning homes. Some people even share apartments with roommates to save money.This shows how income level strongly influences where people can afford to live in New York City.
  3. It’s this. It’s not only NYC. It’s happen in my country. Owning class get surplus value, but worker get salary. It’s a large system. Workers can organize and go on strike, which can stop capitalists from making profits. Throughout history, we have often seen examples of this. However, the government can stop capitalist, because they bring more money and jobs. This shows how income level strongly influences where people can afford to live in NYC.
