Affordable housing developers collaborate on Playter Street revamp
Comment by Professor Taylor: “An apartment that cost $900 a month for either a one or two bedroom apartment is not affordable for most Blacks, Latinx, and immigrants.

The share of Latinx and immigrants making less than $40,000 is even greater. This move is an intensification of the gentrification of Broadway-Fillmore. Call a spade a spade.”
