My project:

In the summer studio, I noticed that many people living in social housing complained about the locations of their home. In recent years, the locations of social housing have been more and more far away from the center of New York city. It seems that the government considers social housing as a method to constrain the living area of poor people who can only afford living in these cheap houses.

What I want to do in my project is showing this trend of social housing’s moving outward by comparing the locations of social housing in different periods of time and the income of people living in different areas in New York.
