Reply to comment by In_Search_Of_Gainz in 47-story apartment building is planned above CVS store at 19th and Chestnut by ColdJay64

Thanks for actually being rational and making sense. I see too many arguments made that housing should be affordable when it’s being built in high-demand areas of the city. If these developers were required to rent out units for $500 a month, they would simply not build it.

Thanks, it’s not often I get to be a voice of reason. Wanna picket outside of liberty2 with me about not being able to afford a penthouse?

Give me a 2BR condo for $200 per month or give me death!

Woah woah woah, if you expect me to pay $200 a month it better be 6k sq/ft and have a terrace!

I don’t see a pool or a state of the art fitness center and a private dog park listed. I’m gonna need those added before I sign this lease

Oh yeah, can’t forget about the dog cage, for the kids of course.

Where are you getting $500 a month from? Nobody who is living in Center City is paying that or expects to pay that.

Pretty obvious they were just throwing out an random absurdly low rent figure to make a point. I guess not too too obvious tho…
