I believe it. Rents in NYC are astronomical these days. Case in point. My grandmother rented an apartment in Brooklyn, what we called a “railroad apartment”. When she gave it up to move to Florida in 1990, she paid $110 a month. The landlord’s daughter moved in. That same apartment today rents for almost $4,000 a month. Gentrification. The Brooklyn brownstone my grandparents sold for $2,000 in 1950 just sold for over 2 million, in what was one of the worst, most dangerous sections of Brooklyn. Dominicans in Washington Heights and Inwood are finding themselves priced out of Manhattan, many moving to the Bronx.
The price of my house is way more than double today compared to what it was when we bought in 2016.
The rent price isn't the point of the article, the threats are.
Agreed, it sounds like a nightmare, the numbers in the Post article are mind boggling.
They can live better there as well. They are being forced through threats to live in those places.
The article states they were being paid as permanent substitutes which is a little less than US$200 a day. I assume they are given health benefits being they are full time. That is approximately $1000 a week or $52,000 a year. I think a first year teacher makes about the same, but you can apply for years of credit on the pay scale based on your previous experience, usually in teaching. I doubt they are allowed to apply this. When I taught in NYC approximately 1/3 of your pay is deducted for federal and state income tax, social security and medicare, and your union dues. That would mean these teachers make about $2640 take how a month. Half for rent I guess.
That's just for a room. They are getting ripped off by the landlord Teacher. In 1 duplex this teacher owns there are 11 Dominicans paying 1,350-1400 a month. That's 15K a month for a duplex. NYC was putting homeless up in nice hotels for free but no program for the teachers?
So as most know, the quality of public education in the DR is abysmal.......NYC DOE Staffers Tell Foreign Educators to Keep Quiet About Outrageous Cost of Living Or Risk Deportation | The Gateway Pundit | by Margaret Flavin

We have a student, born and raised in the Bronx to age nine, going to NYC schools from kindergarten to Grade four. He could speak English very well and somewhat functional in Spanish but couldn't read, never learned to write, only print. His math skills were age/grade appropriate but that was it. His mother, a former student of our asked if Yris would take him on. Within three months he was reading basic Spanish at Grade one level and by the end of the year he was up to Grade level. He is now doing Grade six and doing well. Hope he does well next year back in NYC. He said none of the teachers in NY spoke any language but English.
