Who says 'working class' people should live downtown?
Why should they live downtown?
In any other city on earth, downtown is the best part of town; The 'Boardwalk' and 'Park Place' of the Monopoly board so to speak.
It is here where you'll find the most expensive condos, nicest hotels, and the swankiest of stores.
I agree there's a need for affordable housing. I just don't think downtown is the place to do it.
$250,000 is hardly the big leagues. These days you can barely live in the North End for under $160,000.
