But isn't most people's response to high rent in NY to commute from NJ and not live on a roof? I can't help but think that this man's choice to live on a roof isn't the one that most people would make.

He didn't have a stable enough income to always maintain a gym membership. I doubt a daily commute and rent would be cheaper.

Of course there are different solutions. But is the solution really to travel more? ... and even more, when the rents in the adjacent areas also have gone up?
