Above is a link to a star and trib story I read
today about what constitues affordable in a house. I am stunned in my
disbelief. The one that got me was not that a $170,000 home is considered
affordable housing but the inability of this to relate to the people I know
at all. Most of us are not a family of four living on $61,000 per
year...lots of us are songle parents living on lots less than that. Again
I have to wonder if the Met council considers that price range to be the
affordable housing, where do they intend for people making less than $50,000 to
live?
