What do you think?

Well, first of all, I do think the definition is confusing.
6:56
I think, you know, the housing industry, we like to be a little wonky.

So I would guess I would start with saying the standard definition of affordable housing, quote unquote, is any housing in which somebody is paying no more than 30 percent of their income on housing costs, whether that's rent and your energy costs, whether that's mortgage and your property taxes and all of that.

That's kind of the standard statistic.
7:24
Housing can take a lot of different forms.
7:26
That can be affordable housing that's subsidized by the government.
