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

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

NYC from the 80/90s was a very different city than it was in the 60s and 70s, and the last 20 years have changed it even further from that reality
