Hey Anacostia -- you are getting 180 new units "affordable" housing! Aren't you happy?!

Now you see why I say the joke is on us. This stuff would be funny -- if I didn't live here.

This is a bunch of bullshit -- there I said it. I suppose this project is supposed to dovetail plans to bring low-income/"affordable"housing to the Big K Site.

Where the hell are my matches?

Housing Complex just posted the news. Go HERE to read more. 

Excerpt:

"Gray's announcement, made this morning at a press briefing in Takoma, includes news of two specific investments. One, spearheaded by the Department of Housing and Community Development, is Metro Village, a five-story, 150-unit mixed-income project near the Takoma Metro station. Of those units, 120 will be reserved for households making under 60 percent of the area median income; the other 30 will be market rate. 

The second project is the Parkway Overlook, a sprawling ghost town of vacant apartments that used to house more than 1,000 low-income people south of Anacostia. The project, led by the D.C. Housing Finance Agency, willreportedly convert the complex into 180 units of affordable housing. I'm awaiting more details on the planned redevelopment."
