Ukrainian Refugee Frustrated With New York City: 'You Have to Work So Much'

==========

Kseniia Nadvotska, a Ukrainian refugee who moved to New York City after fleeing Kyiv amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine, has expressed frustration with the city's affordability crisis. Nadvotska found that the city was too expensive to live in after working in low-paying jobs and living in cramped apartments in Brooklyn. She eventually decided to return to Ukraine, warning others about the high cost of living in New York. New York City remains one of the most expensive cities in the United States, with studio apartments averaging $3,468 per month and two-bedroom apartments averaging $4,900 per month. Mayor Eric Adams has emphasized efforts to make the city more affordable, including an 80% increase in financing for affordable housing construction and preservation.
