It's been a long time coming, but the city and state have finally agreed on the MTA's capital program for 2015-2019.  The plan still has to be signed off on by MTA officials and then approved by the state review board, but assuming it's a go, here's what the $26.1 billion program will mean to  New York City subway and bus users.

Is your apartment starting to feel like the 6 train at rush hour? Many other New Yorkers are feeling that way, too. A new report from the New York City Comptroller's office confirms that New York City apartments are getting more crowded.

This $2,500 one-bedroom duplex is situated on one of those picturesque side streets on the Upper East Side (77th between Second and First to be exact), and it also happens to be three avenues from the 6 train.

There's no shortage of luxury condos these days, especially large ones. But this Harlem three-bedroom, two-bath at 23 West 116th Street (a.k.a The Adeline) asking $2.575 million has an amenity that'll have you rejoicing when warmer climes return: a private roof deck the size of other buildings' common roof decks that offers plenty of room for entertaining. 

A new poll from Public Agenda/WNYC confirms what many New Yorkers have been feeling for a while now: It's not easy being middle class in the New York City area.
