Easy solution: Don't get an apartment on the Upper East Side if you can't afford it. Live in the Bronx or Queens.

"combined salaries equal 40 times the monthly rent"
Geez, makes Portland look cheap (at income = 3x rent)

And you would WANT to move to NYC because why????
Just another in a long list of reasons to NOT move there.

The article refers to annual income compared to monthly rent. I think you're referring to Portland's monthly income requirement being 3x rent. At that ratio, annual Portland income requirement is not so far off at 36x rent.
