I'm not saying that there isn't a place for everyone downtown; just that too often the talk hovers around 'affordable' housing.
It seems whenever some new fancy condo is propsed, all the lefties throw their arms in the air and decry the fact that nobody can afford to live downtown.
However in reality, the lower classes are probably overrepresented as a segment of the downtown residential population.
