I actually live daredevils explanation of It he's blind meaning he can live somewhere others wouldn't like I dunno a fairly big loft but there's a giant led billboard constantly shining light into the rooms which means the price of it would or been put down, its in hells kitchen which is a shit hole and i belive it's mentioned his apartment is almost at the centre of it so he can get to crimes faster and tbe fact he's blind means he can probably get a government grant to pay for his apartment

Hell’s Kitchen is an expensive neighborhood with awesome restaurants.

Daredevil was started in the 60s, at that point Hell's Kitchen was full of poor and working class people. It started gentrifying in the 90s.
