The class structure in New York City gets a good exposure in this Blue Bloods episode. Donnie Wahlberg and Marisa Ramirez catch a case involving the murder of a resident in an apartment complex. It's Ramirez here who clues Wahlberg in on how it works.
In their wisdom to come up with affordable housing in Manhattan the city will only approve building new structures if 20% is set aside for the middle class. This building does just that with even different entrances for those who are chosen by lot for those apartments and all the perks therein are for the 80% paying four figure monthly rent and those paying considerably less.
A considerably less well off kid is the murder victim here and the class and social structure of the tenants has a lot to do with the solving of this case. The housing crisis in Manhattan has for years been written and talked about. I'm not living in New York City in my retirement years because of it. Manhattan is like living in Elysium.
This Blue Bloods is educational as well as entertaining.
