It's annoying but it didn't stop us from buying our house and likely wouldn't stop anyone from deciding to live in this subsidized housing.

The idea that money that could otherwise be spent to house families should be pissed away on a parking lot, could have only developed in Philadelphia, a city whose residents have a completely unreasonable expectation of free parking.

Will these residences cater to the elderly? Perhaps if they anticipate a lot of residents would qualify and have a need for handicapped parking, a lot would make sense. But I doubt there's a reasonable explanation for this besides the understanding that people would be pissed if there was no parking.

This is just such a waste of space:
