The bathroom looks like a mausoleum.
It looks like soviet-era housing stock. As it happens, it’s not all that affordable.
If rent is 130% of Area Median Income that means the rent is unaffordable for 80% of the area.
How could this be affordable housing? It’s definitely not for people in this neighborhood…I would love to find an apartment with elevator access because of my multiple back surgery but I would be dreaming to afford this building even though I am 2 blocks away….
