At $45,000/ year, a $1000 apartment is not exactly affordable.

Affordable? Are these idiots kidding? $1,000/month is not affordable for someone making $45K/yr. But the income table makes sense if you look at the horrendous structure on the outside. Looks like tenement housing....it's an eye sore. Bunch of idiots running our town.

Not to mention the never ending increase in density.

It's good to see Arlington moving forward to create affordable housing. Boston does most of the heavy lifting for the region in this regard, the suburbs must follow their lead.
