ESTADOS UNIDOS enfrenta la escasez de vivienda | EL PAÍS

Since the pandemic, buying a home in the United States has become almost 60% more expensive, and renting has increased by 26%. In New York City, where one in four residents lives below the poverty line, an estimated 350,000 people do not own their own home, either because they live with relatives or in city shelters. Immigrants and low-income workers are feeling the pinch the hardest: many spend half their salary on rent, while the rest barely covers their basic needs.
