Crazier: when you find a place you like, apply, then they say you can't have it because your salary is too high.
Each apartment complex (by law) has a percentage of units leased only to people making less than a certain amount.
- hisyam 14y agoI'm guessing they're prioritizing the low wage earners first?
- seiji 14y agoIt's not even prioritizing, it's a form of market voodoo discrimination. "[California] State law requires that 15% of residential development occurring in Redevelopment Project Areas adopted after January 1, 1976 be subject to long-term affordability restrictions, to be fulfilled on a cumulative basis every 10 years." That doesn't mean they just make units available at $1200/month anybody can lease -- it means the $1200/month units are only available to people making under a percentage-off-median wage for the area.
