Publicly funded homes for the poor cost $1.2M each to build

  • “Homes” in this context means apartments, not single-family homes.

    Further, emphasis mine:

    > D.C. apartment buildings exemplify a national trend, as the costs of affordable housing approach and sometimes exceed $1 million per unit in cities that also include San Francisco and Chicago.

    Cherry-picking high cost-of-living cities.

    How much does it cost per unit to build apartments for the non-poor?
