Ever wondered why so-called 'affordable housing' sometimes costs more to build than regular apartments? Turns out, it’s not about cheap buildings anymore. The real drama is in the paperwork: to get rent breaks for lower-income folks, developers have to jump through hoops, sell tax credits, and pay lots of middlemen. All that red tape means higher costs—so the solution ends up pricier than the problem! If you want more homes for less, the system needs a serious declutter. #RealEstate #AffordableHousing #MoneyTalks
