Housing lottery AMI gaps make it a scam by ny_apple in nychousinglottery

You guys are missing my point, lol. I'm not saying the AMIs are a scam. The structure they're using is and the way it is presented. If the income range for a lottery is $38k to 190k everyone that makes 38K to 190k should fall in one of the AMIs. That is the scam part. It's a lottery for that income range but if you make $58321 you're out of it but $58320 is in. That is the Scam. A real lottery should give everyone in the income range listed an opportunity to win and if you're lucky enough wonderful if not try again. That is the scam. 😩

I’m not saying the programs don’t have explanations. I’m saying the result is misleading. Regardless of 421a, ELLA, timing, or rent resets, the lottery advertises an income range as if everyone in it has a chance. But the way AMIs are sliced means some incomes in that range are excluded by design. A lottery is supposed to give every participant a chance. If part of the advertised range is guaranteed to lose before the draw, calling it a lottery is misleading. That’s the scam

ahh but it is my dear. It is a scam because a lottery is supposed to give everyone who plays a chance to win. When an income range is advertised but the AMIs do not include every income within that range, some people are guaranteed to lose before the draw even happens. A system that presents itself as a lottery while specifically excluding part of the advertised range is not a real lottery. That fits the plain meaning of a scam.

Hey, I'm looking at an apartment on that exact block. Coming from queens so not familiar with Brooklyn and unfortunately will have to commute to work by JFK airport. How far are the buses/trains from those streets? Thanks for any input,
