I live in an apartment in new york city.  It is a self contained housing unit on a single level.  I miss a garden though.  What kind of property do you live in?
I live in a house in the suburbs, how is the quality of life in New-York ?
Its ok.  It is a busy, thriving place but an apartment is all I can afford.  I sometimes think I should look into the affordable housing scheme where there is help to get a property from the government 
How much would you save if you lived in a affordable housing appartment ?
Not too sure but the literature states that it helps with mortgages and recognises a persons affordability index.   
You would be the owner of your appartment ? That would be great, but the taxes would be high, you would get financial aid for that ?
the National Affordable Housing Summit Group developed their definition of affordable housing as housing that is "...reasonably adequate in standard and location for lower or middle income households and does not cost so much that a household is unlikely to be able to meet other basic needs on a sustainable basis." Affordable housing in the United Kingdom includes "social rented and intermediate housing, provided to specified eligible households whose needs are not met by the market."
The notion of housing affordability became widespread in the 1980s in Europe and North America
