NYC Housing Decoded: 150 Years of Who Gets to Live Where

Описание: In New York City your floor plan has always been your destiny.
In this video we travel through every stage of New York housing history, from the windowless suffocating rooms of nineteenth century tenements where immigrant families shared a single hallway toilet, all the way to the glass walled empty penthouses of Billionaires Row where apartments sell for one hundred million dollars and sit completely vacant.
This is not just a story about buildings. It is a story about who the city was built for, who got left behind, and how one hundred and fifty years of architecture became the most honest map of inequality ever constructed.
The floor plan changed. The inequality never did.
Watch until the end. The last two minutes will change how you look at every building you walk past.
If this made you think, share it with someone who needs to see it.
