BS06.007 Housing Policy

middle-income housing. here is what we would need to start:
Q: is there a way to poll projects and low-income housing and find out: what percentage is chronically or permanently unemployed. what percentage is employed and of that how many have more than one job.
Q: who are the government, state and federal, adjacencies responsible for writing law pertaining to low-income housing. once we know who that is we can begin a conversation about middle-income housing.
Q: we need a way of polling the number of professionals, like you and me, who are unable to afford housing. we need to find out the age, location, average income of these people.
Q: look at recent artcials on sale of Stuyvesant Town, NYC: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14920388/
