I thought you were a Chow supporter?
Anyway, it's true in some sense. Housing is by far the biggest expense for any household, and if you're lucky enough to get into RGI housing you are by definition guaranteed to get affordable rent. Of course a family making $60K will never qualify for any subsidy, and that's part of the problem: working poor/lower middle class people aren't poor enough to qualify for subsidy, but can't really afford to make it comfortably on their own either. Unfortunately Chow doesn't seem to understand that...
