Lets make no doubt that this is a great idea. I would think that afordable housing could become more affordable if they used commercial investors to pay for the installation and take the credits and give the reduced costs to the occupiers. After 15 years it is all owned by the building owners. This is a great way to get it done.Richard Stabile Bergen County Real Estatehttp://newhomesbyrichard.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-34134271937509803602009-05-15T14:18:00.000-04:002009-05-15T14:18:00.000-04:00You people who know absolutely nothing of affordab...You people who know absolutely nothing of affordable housing make sure ignorant remarks because you are all pathethic human beings. This place will be transformed from a vacant lot into homes for hard-working families to live. These people aren't drug-dealers or drug-users. They maybe weren't as fortunate as you all but given the vicious commentary most of you are making, they are leaps and bounds better humans than any of you.

Housing affordable for households with incomes of $60,000 (a 4-person household at approximately 60% AMI) will not be a blight on Columbia Heights. This project will provide housing for working people who will benefit from living close to public transportation. The site, across an alley from Duron Paint, does not accommodate more than a 4 story building.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-7619743222676174052009-05-13T08:59:00.000-04:002009-05-13T08:59:00.000-04:00So no sooner do they turn Clifton Terrace from a t...So no sooner do they turn Clifton Terrace from a thug-filled hellhole into a decent mixed-income development, they want to plant a new housing project right across the street?
