Of course there is no affordability CRISIS. Are there low income people that struggle with rent? Of course, welcome to life as known throughout the history of humanity. We just have a bunch of pandering assholes that make bullshit claims of "crisis".
As I pointed out above the median rent in Chicago is $1029 including utilities. That requires an annual income of $49,392 assuming paying 25% of income for housing. The median household income is $52,497. The median family income is $61,615 and the median married family income is $87,357.
