yeah but it lists it as an average while housing is averaging 1.3mil.

Most NYC residents rent, they don't purchase the homes they live in.

$1.3M is actually lower than I would have guessed for this neighborhood considering the amount of homes here that are probably worth more than $10M (maybe it's a median, not a mean?).

A quick search does show a bunch of listings for studios less than $500K.

140K is an after-tax income of 100K. If you spend 75% of your after-tax income on housing (which is utterly insane but people do it), that's $6250 per month, which could support a house price of $800,000 to $900,000. Not a lot for Manhattan.

You could also pay $6250 a month for rent which is also utterly insane, but would at least get you a somewhat normal apartment with some actual space.

Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car’s location, date, and time. They also capture your car’s make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points. These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles—regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. While these systems can be useful for tracking stolen cars or wanted individuals, they are mostly used to track the movements of innocent people.
