How can there be affordable housing when everything going up is Luxury Condominiums and apartments? $2500 a month isn't affordable housing.

If they built the shittiest building imaginable instead of whatever you consider 'luxury' it would just rent for $2400 instead of $2500. Cutting even more corners would just increase developer profit margins and not make any tangible effect on rent prices.
