Shitty neighbourhoods.
Depending on where you live look for the place where blacks or muslims are most concentrayed. Go live there.

Yeah basically thus

I keep hearing that even living with the blacks is expensive as fuck and they all have subsidized and public housing

Hello from the most expensive rental market in the United States!

Assuming you really need to live in the city proper, and not some smaller or cheaper place nearby, what you would do here is live with a lot of roommates. Ideally a situation where one of the roommates has been in the apartment a long time, because while this town does have apartments that rent for well over $10,000 a month, it also has very strong rent control laws. I live in a two bedroom condo. If I had to rent it, I would pay at least $4500. But I know people who have been in places about as large and about as nice that pay a quarter of what I would pay, because they've been there for ten+ years. Can sometimes get lucky with under the table sublets, too.

As the above anons suggest, out-of-the-way, unfashionable, or dangerous neighborhoods are likely to be cheapest

>subsidized and public housing
oh, yeah, that is another tool--apply for Section 8 housing subsidies and/or public housing, although public housing is probably impossible for a single male without a family to get into.

Good luck. Unless he's a single parent, I doubt OP can get any of that. Best he could get is food stamps probably if he's poor.

I know several single people without kids who have Section 8. You have to be employed, financially independent (no parental or other support), and poor. It's a bureaucratic hassle but can definitely be done. Public housing is almost entirely for families or the disabled, though.
