I'm saying the metrics they use to determine affordability are flawed and misleading. Like using median income, for example.

I completely agree that the government statistics on income in general are horribly inaccurate and dated. MaineHousing uses market rate, size, utility cost, and other things in addition to median income to determine their rental rates, but their formula could probably be improved or updated.
