Needless to say, this is all rah, rah SHA, and reflects not one single problem with the plan. We believe that NO ONE should pay more than 1/3 of their income for rent. Why are the poor being asked to pay 40% or more? Will the profered jobs be there? Will anyone be able to afford the rent? What about Caregivers living with those who need them? Are they expected to get a job? And what are these, Public/Private partnerships about?
