Im so tired of new york and this term they like to use ‘affordable housing’ ..2.7k for a 1 bedroom is ridiculous, its not even as if you are renting to own ..you would have paid 32k+ in just rent in 1 year, excluding your other utilities and just basic living a day, smh ..just sad
An AMI of 100% is still unaffordable for 50% of area residents. 130% is unaffordable for 80%. It should be a crime to represent it in any other way.
the structure yields ten residences-From the rendering it looks like barley 3-4 at best
