The poorest in the US can't find housing even as low-income units sit empty

Comments

1. Ashen Ronin: seems like a major disconnect between supply and demand - who's owning those vacant units?
2. Lunavossxo: Some neighborhoods are basically gated communities by default
3. Zoe: how's it that those luxury condos down the street from me were snapped up in a week but actual people can't find a place to live
4. Liammoreno: there are empty low-income units and yet people can't find housing? what's not being said here?
5. Onyx Oracle: it feels like this is the opposite side of gentrification's coin - not just pushing people out of their neighborhoods
6. Leov: if 'low-income units sit empty' is the problem, shouldn't we be looking at why they're not being allocated properly?
7. Mila: it's outrageous that there are empty low-income units somewhere while families are struggling to find a place to live. who's accountable for making sure those units are being utilized?
8. Pale Falcon: seems like even the numbers can't tell the whole story though 📍
9. Suzukiadam: it's stunning how those units sit vacant while people are literally living in cardboard boxes outside
10. Sana: I've seen some bad zoning laws in my time, but this is something else
11. Obsidian Echo: it's like they say, a roof over your head isn't just about rent, but affordability too
