There is plenty for those who make a good deal of money. Hubby and I have been looking for two years now. When new buildings are put up they have to allot so many for affordable housing. In one building of 350 apartments, only 5 were allotted and there are thousands of people trying to get them. Some buildings list affordable housing at $2000 a month. They have to be kidding. But sadly, as a result, entire buildings sit empty because people cannot afford the rent they are asking.mxtodis123https://www.blogger.com/profile/13583200601379394225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9890790.post-21672131405258872992019-05-28T03:10:00.416-07:002019-05-28T03:10:00.416-07:00I live in one of the most expensive parts of the c...I live in one of the most expensive parts of the country. Affordable housing is very hot topic around here.<br /><br />My younger daughter has a very good job in Manhattan. She shares an apartment with a roommate. It’s a one bedroom apartment, they put up a wall in the living room to create a second bedroom. This is a fairly common practice in NYC. Why? Her half of the rent on a one bedroom apartment could get you an entire house in some parts of the country,songbird's crazy worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11473854543986991104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9890790.post-32599477786899937222019-05-27T23:45:44.120-07:002019-05-27T23:45:44.120-07:00Hari om

River and Andrew have covered the first, so let me add that the UK is desparate for affordable housing due to Maggie Thatcher encouraging the sell-off of public homes in the 1980s. Lots of buolding gpoing on, yet not keeping up with demand. I cannot properly comment on the costs, as these vary greatly according to region.<br /><br />I love your idea for a "kraal" dwelling... c'mon Lotto!!!

Yes, for those on low incomes, (rich people can afford to buy what they want where they want it), but the biggest problem is public housing shortage, over the years public housing on big blocks (so people could have gardens) have become to expensive to maintain so they got sold, but not enough medium density housing has been built to replace the sold ones. And there is a problem of people in public housing trashing their homes and having to be moved and they repeat this so often, when I think that if they trash (wreck) their home on purpose, they should not be allowed another public housing place. <br />I don't know so much about housing cost, it depends on the house and land size, do you mean to buy or to rent? Rent is more expensive in or close to city and more expensive for bigger homes with more bedrooms. Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.com
