16+ min ago (564+ words) The city's affordable housing landlords are in need of a colossal $1 billion in spending from the next mayor to dodge default, according to an affordable housing nonprofit." Razor-thin margins are often considered part and parcel of operating affordable housing units in New York City, but a growing number of these operators are failing to make ends meet.

The tumor simply can't adapt fast enough," lead author Dr. Yanruide Li, a post-doctoral scholar at UCLA, said in a press release.
