So that's what we need more of. Unless you are going to argue that the only people who need affordable housing are the people who already have it, and therefore preservation of existing units is the only thing we need. Which would be extremely wrong. |
i'm arguing again that's it's absurd to think that just because you want to live within footsteps of coors field that you don't necessarily get to just because.
you want to jam in your "missing middle" for the upper classes go ahead. that 400K$ apartment referenced as some kind of "affordable" option is hilarious.
meanwhile it's the true affordable housing that's getting converted. the missing middle is found. it's the Lost Lower that we need to worry more about here.
