Kingston, New York:
"It’s a chain of events that could have been avoided had there been a place for the family to rent for $1,200 a month"
1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 875 square feet. $1,200.

1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 720 square feet. $1,207.

Two person max, first and last month's rent, credit check, black list check, utilities, parking fee, amenities fee, security deposit, pet rent, price raise after 3 months.
Landlords are out of control.
Story is about a mom and daughter with a $1,200 limit, it seems do-able to me based on a 30 second internet search.
Your 30 seconds search turned up 2 results at the limit of what this family could afford, without including the additional costs such as utilities, parking, ... + all other stuff that the other person mentioned. Which means that those results are significantly outside their budget.
If their budget is 1200 $/month, then they cannot afford an apartment with that list price. My guess would be that they could afford a list price of 800 to 900 $/month, maybe 1000 $/month if a parking spot was included in the rent. But I don't live there, so this is just a bad guess.

Many apartments won't lease more than two people to a studio or one bedroom, so that won't work for a family.
Ah, the Resilient Jenkins approach.
Is that Leroy's cousin?
That lady wishes she could be known for something like Leroy Jenkins.
Nah, she's one of those family youtubers with a bunch of children, and they came under fire recently because it was found out that they live in a one bedroom apartment and her and her fiance share the bedroom while her kids slept on mattresses in the kitchen.
Well that was an interesting little rabbit hole. Stop having kids, lady.
