My brother and I lived in 1/2 of our garage for about 4 yrs before I got to move into the family room when I hit 14.
Out grew the bed and chipped in about $100 to help pay for a sofa bed upgrade (this ticked off dear old dad, me chipping in $ was viewed as saying, 'You're not a good provider.') Also, the family room had a sliding glass door, made it real easy to sneak out quietly.

save money! move into public housing! think of all the $$$ you could save...
plus, you’ll meet the nicest, like-minded people. maybe easier access to hard drugs too!
expose your kids and wives to diversity. why should you live anywhere nice or relatively safe? let’s level out the playing field...
as an american of the future, do you think you have the right to live in a nice neighborhood? plus more public housing types sharing your waves...
west chester county is just north of nyc. lots of it is pretty nice, $$$. they’ve been trying to pull this sh!t for years.
seems the goal is to make more of the county look like downtown yonkers.
good luck!
“equity” now!

In other words....
"ewww, get away from me poor people."
lets not confuse “poor” with non-working uneducated unsocialized sh!tbags.
you ever get close enough to make the distinction brucey ?
When relying on private investment to build affordable housing, there has to be a way for developers to turn a profit.
500 truly affordable units is better than most.
The truly laughable thing would be the likelihood of that powerplant being built in those backyards today.
The massive installations of public housing are typically the worst all areas- quality, upkeep, and outcomes. They've also been the public housing most often afforded to non white occupants. This are the developments that most people think of when they picture public housing and/or subsidized housing.
Decentralized subsidized housing has a far better track record.
There's more here.
Unfortunately, it doesn't paint the government as great stewards of equity

The plan, according to the developer is 2500 units. I've had to deal with our planning commission and I will tell you it will never get passed. NOt by the city council either. And the residents rejected "The Waterfront," a project I liked , given the decrepit nature of our pier.
Also, he did not say how many of the units will be affordable housing. My guess is just enought to get credits on the EIR for parking, traffic and vehicle use.
The chance of getting a power plant built around here is about a good as opening a polyurethane surfboard blank factory in San Juan Capistrano.

That's typical. I'd like to see those numbers bump up in general.
I thought I heard in the video it was 500. Maybe my mistake.
Usually it’s around 20-25% “affordable”. In some counties it’s mandated, even without the perks.
The problem is that the upper income threshold often leaves out a lot of people who can’t afford market price but make too much to qualify for the “affordable” units.
That sounds exactly like my bracket for getting any financial aid for my daughter's post secondary education.
See the story about home buyers in Florida in the Hurricane Ian damage zone?
Less than a month after Hurricane Ian caused widespread devastation to southwestern Florida, investors and other buyers are scouring for housing deals in a region where home prices have soared in recent years.
Demand remains strong from both locals and out-of-staters, according to residential real-estate agents in Naples, Fla., and other areas near the path of the Category 4 storm. They say they have received numerous inquiries from people still interested in relocating to the Sunshine State, or hoping to pick up distressed properties.
“It’s pretty much business as usual,” said Kelly Baldwin, an agent for Coldwell Banker in Longboat Key, Fla. “I haven’t had anyone reach out who wants to stop their home search.”

Does anyone NOT see a problem with this?
Like I said in the hurricane thread, fucking end the National Flood Insurance program already.
Everyone who is already in is in. But no new builds should be insured under the program.
In the case your home is leveled you get a one time payout to use as you choose, but if you want to rebuild in the same place, you're on your own as far as insurance.
It called "by right". We are going through the same stuff in Encinitas. Tomorrow night, the planning commission will be approving a 500 unit apartment complex. This effectively doubles the size of the existing neighborhood. I would love to see the VLM studies for the RB project. That's something like "vehicle level mileage". A super low-ball estimate of how much the new tenants will be driving around.
Banks will not issue construction loans without proof of flood insurance and FEMA designates the risk. After Katrina the landowners whose homes and businesses were flooded or destroyed were hit by FEMA with a 17 feet above sea level minimum height restriction on all new construction in their designated flood zone. Because of this, Subsequent hurricanes have caused considerably less damage.
Whats that a 70's house? Hell it stood this long. Probably has good bones. $350! Fuck cheap. Buy it! Why r u talking to us! Im gonna buy it
