To rent an apartment in San Francisco is not cheap. For several months, the city tops the ranking of settlements with the most expensive rental apartments.
Because of the high cost to the middle class, not to mention the people with low income are forced to leave the city. The only thing that can keep them from doing so is a complete program for affordable housing.
Last week members of the district Council of San Francisco has made another step in this direction through a number of changes to existing legislation.
Under the new rules, developers are required to provide in new buildings 20% affordable housing units with different area characteristics for men with very low, low and middle income. 25% of these apartments must be 2 bedroom and 10% 3 countrymy
Besides, the government raised the income limits for those applying for affordable housing. Before the preferential rental price was only entitled poor people. Now get discounts and middle office. This category includes single people earning 120 Grand a year and families of two people with a total income of 138 thousand. They will have to pay the rent about 2800.
