This is "affordable housing" in my neck of the woods. Actually, it's not even quite my neck of the woods, just in the same council district.

Hey, I don't own property. The bank does, and lets me pay for the privilege of pretending it's mine. Currently, they let me pay about 50% more than I was paying in rent, and I can't bitch about the landlord if something needs repairing...

As for "can't afford", how does that happen when you don't have a mortgage? ;)
