Ugh. For starters, Tax Payers have likely spent nothing to make this possible. The Building Permit probably mandates a certain amount of Affordable Units. So the Developer designs the Building with those Units in mind.

You keep harping on Minimum Wage. Even Wages higher than the Minimum Wage are insufficient "Living Wages" in Cities.

You pretty much dodged his entire point. All housing/apartment units have a certain value, and those that can afford those units should be able to buy them. If a unit in a city is worth $100k, It makes no sense to deny the sale to someone with the money only to give it away to someone who does not have the money. Things of value should be bought.

I dodged nothing. There are good reasons for these types of Programs. Reasons you seem unable to grasp.

I can't imagine a scenario where buying votes and wasting taxpayer money are considered good reasons for anything....

I agree, but that's another issue unrelated to this.

😕

A developer can build more units and make more money if he's able to bypass certain zoning restrictions(ie. setback distances, height restrictions, etc) by making a % of the units affordable. Who's buying votes and wasting taxpayer money?

It's like section 8 for condos.

That's a rather cynical view. Cities require people to work certain Low Wage Jobs, without them the city can not function. That is why the Market is not relied on, as it Fails to meet the Needs in many cases.

How about paying better for the low wage jobs so people can afford to live in the city? It will give the workers the choice on what they want to spend their money on: a place to live close to where they work, or extra money if they live with an hour commute. This sort of configuration empowers the people to move the market instead of artificially constraining the market to meet the needs of the people.

Are you fucking 5 years old or something?
 
That is nothing new OP....

I live in Boston myself. I was at Stuff@Night promo party that showcased this beautiful brand new condo right off of the TD Garden.

Archstone Avenir: http://www.archstoneapartments...ston/Archstone_Avenir/

The rent for 1200sq is $3800 a month. ROFLMAOPIMP. You can also get government housing rate for $800 instead. WTF. If I was poor, I can live in that beautiful condo with private patio, roofdeck party access and top of the line gym for mere $800.

It's a govt rule. All condos have to reserve a certain % of rooms for subsidized living, NO MATTER how FUCKING LUXURIOUS. It's hilarious really.

It's a general knowledge if you live in Boston and hunt for housing. A lifer like you should know how to google it. Everytime gf and I look at luxurious condos for fun, we ask the agent to show us the subsidized rooms just so we can drool at it and its ridiculously low price. It's just like the scenario in OP.

I highly suspect that the $800 Condos are no where near as Luxurious as the other Suites. Gyms, Pools, and other Luxuries would certainly be included, but thatt's another thing entirely.

Wow, you REALLY know a lot about me. It's almost scary. I am flattered and bit concerned. Who are you again? Yet, I have no idea who you are.

Severance package, taking a nice time off, money saved up... but hey, if it made you feel like you insulted me, then cheers.

What else? Please tell me more about how much you know me. It's like.. freaky and creepy at the same time. Ugh.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Stop scaring people, take that bag off of your face, go see some sun. I'm concerned for you. So much energy devoted to me. It is bit flattering though.
