The affordable housing one is fun. The sole time I applied for an affordable apartment in Cambridge, MA; my application was rejected because I didn’t make enough money. This is despite the apartment costing a couple hundred less than what I was paying in market rent. I likely would still not have won the lottery for the apartment, but it showed the system really was not designed well for many of us scrounging out a living as the city was moving towards a $100k cap on income for affordable units
