City Conversation #70: How we manage homelessness is a key to how we manage affordable housing for those suffering housing insecurity and just needing a reasonable place to live
I wish that people would stop using the variable term "affordable" and use the properly descriptive term, "subsidized". For example, that 80% of the project deemed not affordable appears to be affordable to someone as these units are all eventually sold or rented. There are only 2 types of housing, market and subsidized. "Affordable" 's actual value is different for every single person, every family unit.

Good point. I just published CC 71 and it does not include your considerations. I’ll see if I can bring that out in a future CC.
Thanks for reading
