Much "affordable housing" is built in this way -- the market rate units in new buildings subsidize the below-market units so you do get a good mix of socioeconomic classes in each building. Moderately successful in my experience.
- SoftTalker 3y agoI have no direct experience living in such a building but I would guess that it's a mix of lower and middle, but very few upper class folks. The people who can afford other options would generally avoid living in a building like that. When I was saving for my first house I rented an apartment that was a lot cheaper than I could afford. I was one of very few white people living there, possibly the only one. I got a lot of "dude, are you lost?" looks from the other residents, especially going to work wearing a suit every day, but very little other interaction or cultural mixing happened.
