    A local municipality did the same thing but instead of building housing that the public can afford these houses are going for 400k bare bones. They effectively snubbed both the rich and the poor, and mostly just teh poor. In fact it’s a really nice part of town to live so just the poor nevermind.

      I live in the outskirts of NYC and have to remind myself $400k isn’t budget housing. Every now and then I’ll look up regular size apartments in the area and they’re usually $1-2 million
