Data

  4. Cost of low rent afforded by the poorest people makes apartment operating cost unsustainable? [4]
  5. Tax credits apply to those whose income is 60% of median [https://apps.urban.org/features/cost-of-affordable-housing/
  6. Current standard for affordability: no more than 30% of gross income [5]

Issues

  2. Inclusionary (affordable) zoning - actually increases housing costs? [7]
  3. Essential conflict of interest between big builder profits and affordability? [8]

Solutions

  1. Habitat does CEO Builds - [9]. May not scale well without Extreme Manufacturing principles

Revenue Models

  1. Apartment complex economics. $700/mo. One year at $8.4k. Works with free land and utilities using Radical Waste Treatment.
