Kid Buys Parents NYC House, Because Rent Is Basically Extortion
Growing up in cramped Brooklyn apartments, this Yale grad saw his immigrant parents hustle so hard, 'breaking their backs working odd jobs to pay rent.' Fast forward: juggling jobs from printer whisperer to UN campaigner, he bankrolls their Staten Island dream crib. He fondly recalls, 'I made her a promise: I would ... save whatever I could to help buy her a house in New York.' Now, they own a place where future lovebirds sneak in and weary parents finally exhale. Plot twist: still no affordable housing lottery win in sight.
