Hispanic and some Asian families, from what I’ve seen, are increasingly packing more family members into each dwelling unit in order to make the rent. The flip side is that more people per unit means less units will be occupied overall. I observed the same thing when I rented an apartment in UTC in the 90’s, only it was college students that were packed into the apartments to make the rent. There are definite limits on housing costs/rents, no matter how you look at it. As powayseller and others have said, there aren’t that many people that can afford the house prices or rents without some sort of creative financing or living arrangement.
