  1. One bedrooms in that neighborhood are the same rent about $2500. Most of the one bedrooms in the free market give two months free rent and some even offer three months free rent.
    So there is no real bargain . Studio for $2000 is the current market rate. This is not a bargain. They should lower those rents by 33% Sounds like a fake promotion

  2. Weeellll since when is THIS affordable housing?? Affordable Housing is SALARY based housing!!! That’s just regular rent and requirements! It’s a dog gone shame how they do us out here.

  3. How is this considered “affordable”?

  4. What a shame! And a sham!What about AFFORDABLE HOUSING for the Underserved! Don’t you realize there’s money to made from helping the Underserved!!? Make history by building luxury living apartments for those struggling to survive! Think about it! Tax Deduction Galore!!!

  5. Oh please i applied and receive a letter saying i am not qualify making to muchb and so funny i am on unemployment. They said they will not discriminate but a lot of ppl getting decline….
