Data

- South midwest and south east, at $250k around for median price. [2]
- Detroit is like 1/3 the average housing cost! [3]
- Cost of low rent afforded by the poorest people makes apartment operating cost unsustainable? [4]
- Tax credits apply to those whose income is 60% of median [https://apps.urban.org/features/cost-of-affordable-housing/
Issues
- KC situation. Affordable is rent only of $700. [5]. If SEH costs $100k, can we do rehnt at $700/month? Link to a guy building affordable homes, 5 per year.
- Inclusionary (affordable) zoning - actually increases housing costs? [6]
- Essential conflict of interest between big builder profits and affordability? [7]
Solutions
- Habitat does CEO Builds - [8]. May not scale well without Extreme Manufacturing principles
