Now THIS is a tough market

Public housing residents in DC suburb make six figures.

When people who make ten times what I do receive public assistance, it gives me a moment of pause...

A quote:

In the most extreme cases, Fairfax is underwriting rents for families making well into six figures: One household getting help makes more than $216,000 a year; another, $184,000. Dozens of others -- making $60,000, $70,000, $90,000 -- exceed eligibility caps. And they do so with the tacit approval of county housing
administrators, who do little to encourage occupants to move on when their
fortunes improve.
