The higher income people moving in the AMI goes up making harder to apply for the affordable housing. Figure out it’s a joke and a dream .
Where is the affordable housing? These rents aren’t feasible for those not making six figures. It’s incredibly sad that the only people eligible are the Bezos and Musk crowds;long time Fort Green residents don’t have a chance. I remember when this spot was a Planned Parenthood center and a car wash.💔
