Z,
Even the "affordable housing" being built now really is for people in the middle to upper-middle class. Nothing for the working class or the poor.
Thanks Z. I haven't been to NYC in a while.

Believe it or not, this very argument is being used against development in SF. Activists claim that the development will only serve the upper class establishment and will not benefit the lower classes.

They have a point, to be sure. What developer wants to build low-income housing? How is the city going to incentivize or push through such low-income development when precious real estate is being gobbled up by the profiteers?

Unfortunately, the activists don't have a real solution to this problem. All they can do is be the "Party of No," which only makes the problem worse.
