The word affordable has been used by City and State leaders for years as a means to assuage the public that they are for the little guy.  This is the furthest thing from the truth because there is no such thing as affordable if you live in Hawaii and this includes the neighbor islands.  Unless you have an executive-type job, rich parents or receive a large inheritance, affordable is not in your reach.  Quit lying to the public!  How about using the term subsidized housing?  Any housing sold under market price is subsidized by others because developers do not sell at a loss.  They charge higher prices for the remaining units.
