Went to go look at apartments and town homes, found something we were interested in for a decent price and then they tell us we don't qualify cause it is income restricted. WTF These apartments didn't used to be income restricted and now they are for tax breaks.

How wonderful that they are only allowing government welfare rats to come destroy their properties.

I think you should take the advice in your own sig

i kinda think it's funny that greendhumb, an admitted thief who is stinking up his entire apartment complex with the smell of weed, changing the locks on a unit he rents, and threatening to shoot the landlord with a gun, is complaining about all those other people dragging down property values and talking about how they should stay in "their part of town".

if i were a landlord and a tenant changed the locks on a property that i owned, his ass would be evicted that same day. see ya.

But there's more to this, a bigger picture economics-wise:
There is a shortage of low income housing in the US. The govt had a choice to build the housing like they did in chicago LA New york in the 60's or use private money. To drive private investment they created the LIHTC. Low income housing tax credit . private investors build the communities and then they receive tax credits to sell to the investors. The units are then priced based on market dynamics. Formulas are used to calculate who qualifies to make sure that the product produced is used by the intended recipients. It varies by market and even neighborhood. There is still a shortage of units and many have waiting list of several years in certain markets. With out the tax credit housing and continued shortages of low income housing you see what is happening in Seattle. A high tech boom has created a shortage of apartments allowing landlords to raise rents as much as 30% since 2008. Even adding 15000 units in the market place the last 3 years has not affected rents downward. So the city is pushing for a $15 minimum wage to help keep lower income workers in the city. Or increase taxes to build the housing.

[sunni]

yeah, he was seriously good looking. not sure where that pic is from,
i know he came to canada from italy he was too young to go into the 2nd world war, but my other grandfather on my dads side was in it...
lots of family history and i just LOVE this pic of Vincenzo.

though i do notice a trend most people who have kids now a days, those kids know their great grandparents...

i feel like our society is so much more focused on jobs, and careers.
nowmy kids will never know their great grandparents....odd...

You`ll still be able to tell them stories about how awesome they were - and how those memories remind you that family is super important.
