Woodside Tenants Podcast: The Economic Struggle of Low-Income Tenants

This episode introduces an individual who originated from the Island life into a city full of labor and economic struggle. As a teenager, he witnessed the pain of the impoverished in the streets, as well as his own financial strain. Living by himself in his own home, he discusses his employment story and his involvement in entrepreneurship, describing the strict requirements of employment and education to survive and pay for utilities. However, his economic situation remains unchanged as taxes gradually increase.

This episode highlights the difficulty of living in one of the biggest cities in the world, especially when it comes to high taxes, inflation, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. My letter highlights how the majority of people who live in low- or middle-income households struggle to find affordable housing because of limited space as the population of New York City continues to increase over time.

This episode introduces the purpose of this podcast, which is to spread awareness across the Internet and invite a diverse group of people to share their perspectives on economic stress and rising rent. As we advocate, podcasts are used to attract the attention of teenagers and local tenants in Woodside to research on how the current economy impacts local communities.
