$400,000 is Not "Affordable"

Posted on March 13, 2007 by The Tim

A couple of interesting letters to the editor floated to the surface today in response to Ms. Rhodes’ latest article.

Here’s my favorite:

I guess I don’t understand how anyone would think that a $400,000 to $500,000 price tag on a town house is considered to be affordable housing. Not for folks who work for the city of Seattle making less than $35,000 a year. Not all of us are City Council members or managers.

— Diana Rodriguez, Lacey

Indeed, what a bizarro world we live in.
