Hello I am interested in a studio or one bedroom apartment
Literally says it in the article what to do if you’re interested.
25 units are in this building.
19 will be priced at 130% AMI which is not affordable for 80% of the area. We can safely assume the other 6 units will not affordable to 100% of the area.
Why are we calling buildings like this “affordable?” This can only be called what it is: unaffordable housing
I’m a retired city of new York case manager. 29 years employed for 29 years, income of only $55000/ year, why no one is making apartments so we can afford a decent apartment?
