Reply to comment by ColdJay64 in 47-story apartment building is planned above CVS store at 19th and Chestnut by ColdJay64

It was noted in another comment that it would bring young people to the area to eat and shop, and I chuckled bc I don’t know 1000 “young” people that could afford a 2k rental right now, especially alone. It feels a little tone deaf to everybody who are struggling to find rentals they can afford

Do you know 1000 young people, period? I know plenty of couples and a few individuals (all mid 20s- early 30s) who could afford that rent.

The people that can afford it will, and they will leave the lower priced options available for others who can’t.
