"...affordable housing..."
That’s absolutely right; it seems the real scam with “affordable housing” is that people making a lot of money that know how to mask it end up in many units. Not ghetto folk, but working people.
There have been new constructions in my area (condo-type apartment buildings), and my understanding is that a certain percentage of the units have to be set aside for low-income (not even “affordable” - specifically “low-income”) housing. Anyone buying the other units is a fool; as I understand it, they are having a hard time selling them.
