Everyone has to live in an apartment or house that they can afford. So, when you say affordable housing arent you really talking about people on government assistance and the working poor?
Not at all. In the past ten years, housing costs have risen percentage wise faster than the increase in salaries in the region. We now see people, like teachers, fire fighters, bank tellers, administrative assistants, young professionals, etc., who cant afford a home close to their places of employment. Yes, the working poor need affordable housing, but these days people who are considered low-to-middle class are also struggling to find affordable housing.
