Michael and Victoria's objection might be more
intelligible if we knew what the going rate per
apartment is nowadays in new construction.
One argument I can think of FOR building these
apartments is as renter of last resort when other
landlords discriminate against those with AIDS.
If property-managers considered nothing but
financial solvency in renting apartments, there
might never be any reason for public funds in
construction. But there are a lot of pretty
sneaky ways to cover up personal bias.
