Renter's Remorse
A new survey shows that more and more New Yorkers spend half their income on rent. With a looming economic downturn, what’s the future of apartment prices in the city? But speaking of an economic downturn, there may be a silver lining: your health may improve. Also, Kelly McMasters reflects on the environmental and social cost of a nuclear laboratory near her Long Island home-town. Plus, you’ve heard of live blogging, but what about live “poet-ing”?
High Cost of Renting
Congressman Anthony Weiner (D, Brooklyn & Queens) tells us that an increasing number of New Yorkers pay at least 50% of their income in rent, according to his recent survey.
Bad Times, Good Health
An economic downturn may be bad for your bank account--but maybe not your physical health. Christopher Ruhm, professor of economics at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research, tells us why. Ralph Catalano, professor of public health at the University of California at Berkeley, says the link isn't all that clear.
