60% AMI is 900? I remember not long ago when that would be around 700-750. The market is ludicrously overvalued especially since there’s still a pandemi. And 550 is still incremental considering the average salary around Far Rock is about 40 Grand.
Oh and when you do these stories please stress how many market rate apartments there are. Because the ratio is way higher for them.

If that diagram of people is what will represent the area then bravo . It will be an integrated development of all different nationalities, races and religions. Except I highly doubt that will happen As either it will be completely gentrified or completely low income . The pictures to me are a fantasy but I can be proven wrong .
