All market rate as far as I've heard. No discussion of affordable units.

Weird that "market rate" and "affordable units" are two separate things... 🙄

Not really, "affordable housing" is by a definition a euphemism for house/apt that is sold/rented below market rates. I agree there should be more affordable housing tho. Hopefully, 41 units will increase the local supply and lower the price. Can't hurt at least.

Nah, definitely not. I had a white collar job 20 years ago and lived with roommates in what could best be described as a shithole.

So you think that everyone who waits tables should live in substandard housing

Or you think no one should wait tables

Which one?
