I've always been confused as to what constitutes "affordable housing".
Because to some that might mean a reasonable purchase price. or rent.
but reasonable is very relative to ones incomes and free cash flow.
free cash flow is tied to needs and choices.
some people don't think medications or treatments are choices, but are needs.
Is it reasonable to expect everyone to want to buy a place to live? are they capable of what that entails? does it meet their needs? are they picky about their neighbors, or does nobody want to be their neighbor?
So, to me, affordable housing means making some base assumptions on family needs (ie based on # of people and any medical issues), then setting the rental rate at something that's demographic/geographically acceptable, and then policing accordingly?? but does that lead towards socialism/communism again?
