New York City ranks as the priciest city in the U.S. to retire, according to WalletHub's 2024 analysis of the best and worst places to retire. Following NYC, the two Hawaiian destinations that offer the highest quality of life for retirees — Pearl City and Honolulu — tied for second place. The median rental price for a one-bedroom apartment hit $4,500 a month in August, per Zumper's latest data. That's pretty steep compared with the national median rental price of $1,534 for a one-bedroom and $1,915 for a two-bedroom. The median rental price for all bedroom types in Manhattan is $5,000 versus $4,209 in Brooklyn, according to Zumper.

The iconic Flatiron Building will be converted from empty offices into luxury residences. The iconic Flatiron Building will be converted from empty offices into luxury residences, the owners announced this week. The Brodsky Organization, a residential real estate developer, bought a stake in the Flatiron building this month and will lead the conversion process, which will include moving the staircases and elevators. The Flatiron Building's redevelopment will be one of New York's most high-profile commercial-to-residential building conversion projects, something that's become a central part of the city's efforts to build more housing. The area — between 23rd and 40th streets and Fifth and Eighth Avenues — is just north of the Flatiron building.

And New York City has had success transforming single-use office districts, most notably Lower Manhattan's financial district, into more vibrant mixed-use places. Times Square is one of those, according to Tom Harris, president of the Times Square Alliance, which represents the district's businesses. AdvertisementAdvertisement"I'm not negating it, but certainly the opportunities south of Times Square, to the west of Times Square, are a little bit better for development of the housing stock," he said. The mix of businesses around Times Square has changed in a way that could be appealing to potential residents. Times Square lost 179 businesses during the pandemic, but has since welcomed more than 180 new businesses into the neighborhood, according to the Times Square Alliance.

The toll may produce up to $15 billion for investment within the aging MTA system. For example, particulate matter emissions from stop-and-go traffic can stoke diseases such as asthma. "In London, they've had a reduction of nearly 20% in particulate matter pollution," said Julie Tighe, president of the New York League of Conservation Voters. "There's a 15% reduction in particulate matter in Stockholm, which resulted in a 50% reduction in asthma." Watch the video above to see how New York City is spending cash raised by its massive new toll.

I toured 160 Water Street, a major office-to-residential conversion in New York City. That's the whole point at 160 Water Street. In a past life, 160 Water Street was an office building in New York City's financial district. Standing next to 180 Water Street — an office building that was converted into units back in 2017 — 160 Water Street is preparing to welcome tenants by the end of the year. I got the opportunity to tour the building and saw just how much the rise of remote work is shaping how we use our spaces.

REUTERS/Mike Segar/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsNEW YORK, Sept 27 (Reuters) - When Marc Matsil retired to Connecticut's bucolic northwest hills two years ago, fly fishing and hiking filled his days. "Things have opened back up – and some people have realized that not only do they like the financial benefits of working, but the mental stimulation and social benefits as well." If you are nearing retirement, or retired and thinking about working again, here are some important things to consider. FIGURE OUT A SOCIAL SECURITY STRATEGYSome people take Social Security benefits as soon as possible to stay afloat. But if working longer enables you to delay those checks, the financial benefits are significant.

Mayors in cities across the U.S. want to loosen rules that can slow the pace of office-to-residential conversions. In some instances, cities have offered generous tax abatements to developers who build new housing. Prominent investors Societe Generale and KKR have worked with developers like Philadelphia-based Post Brothers to finance institutional-scale office conversions in expensive central business districts. Many experts believe local governments will alter zoning laws and building codes to make these conversions easier over the years. Watch the video above to learn how cities are getting developers to convert more offices into apartments.

The NYC park where Marjorie Taylor Greene is hosting a Trump rally used to be an open sewer. Collect Pond Park was then a blossoming new neighborhood, and later the center of a gang-filled slum. It took six years for the city to fill the hole that was once Collect Pond, according to the parks department. The area finally became a park in 1960Luciano Garbati's statue 'Medusa With The Head of Perseus' at Collect Pond Park on October 13, 2020.

New York City's Department of Education announced a ban on the wildly popular chatbot ChatGPT — which some have warned could inspire more student cheating — from its schools’ devices and networks. It was not immediately clear if the ban applied to the City University of New York system. In New York public schools, ChatGPT can still be made available upon request to classes studying artificial intelligence. In an email statement responding to the New York City public schools ban, a spokesperson for OpenAI said the company "doesn't want ChatGPT to be used for misleading purposes in schools or anywhere else." We’ve always called for transparency around the use of AI-generated text," the spokesperson said.
