I speak from experience as a family of 4 with a single income (me) which is hard to rent downtown (pretty much anywhere). We wouldnt qualify for even 80%, but when you start talking 120%, it would likely be an option.

And as Leo put it, there are plenty of high earning households in the Pearl. Speaking as someone who's family would like to remain downtown, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find an option we can afford. Even though I get raises each year, it is not even close to matching the rate at which apartments are renting for.

So, there ya go. My questions were first person based. But still a good lesson I think.
