but they are in one building.
there would have been two right next to each other, one for rich folks and another one mandated by the government for affordable housing.
Separate but equal?
What's the issue if these happen to be physically located in the same building?
what's the issue with everyone using the same door?
Presumably the other door grants access to amenities that are exclusive to the more expensive units.
As for "separate but equal" comment, I don't see how that is relevant or addresses the point. Would it make any difference if these were two physically different buildings?
Not sure if the tax breaks are worth it, but clearly, having mixed neighbourhoods is better than shoving the poor people in their own ghettoes.
And working in the big house is better that working in the fields. What's your point?
Ok, so tell me, what should the city do with affordable housing? Presumably, without the tax breaks and incentives, there would be poor people neighbourhoods and rich people neighbourhoods. Or should they demand that to qualify for the tax breaks, the affordable units have to be exactly similar to the more expensive ones?
