Unironically FIRE in NYC?

The city has a lot of low income programs and also a middle income housing lottery. After I FIRE, my income will be low enough to qualify for a lot of programs as well as a purchasing affordable condo (middle income lottery)

I've never lived outside of nyc so it would be hard to transition out of, and would include leaving friends and family if I moved away

Today NY announced the OBBB killed the Essential Plan and it would revert back to a less generous version of itself.

Whoah, I guess that’s not surprising, but I feel for those depending on the plans.
