I'll pass this along to my hard-working friend who had to move from a
roomy fourplex in Powderhorn to a cramped apartment in Phillips due to
huge rent increases.  He'll be thrilled to hear he can come back to
Powderhorn. 

Removing tongue from cheek, I see that the article talks about home
purchase affordability, which is related to rental affordability, but
not the equivalent thing.  And the article does not paint a completely
rosy picture even for home purchase:

  "Despite the good news, Garczynski said millions of 
   Americans � particularly minority and low-income people 
   � still cannot afford to purchase a home."
