That apartment complex looks very high end. We need Governor Mills to build a low income housing project in every town including Freeport.

Low income people can't live in nice looking places?

I don’t think that’s what they’re saying. If the developers are aiming to attract a higher end clientele, then they’ll make them more ‘spiffy’ (interior materials, etc). You can build apartments that are very nice without the high end mark-up materials.

It's not that low-income people CAN'T, it's that a nice looking and brand new apartment complex is likely not going to be priced at such a point that lower income people or families can live there at all

Should be a different world, but generally seems to be the way it turns out

There's more profit catering to luxury than to economy.
