[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I checked my neighborhood school and it's almost 50% farms. Houses here are between 600k-800k. One bedroom garden apartments are 1800/m. I used to live in them and they don't seem overcrowded. Not sure how people make it on that little $.  And there is no project based subsided housing in the immediate area.

I think maybe you either don't know every neighborhood that feeds your school, don't understand how roommate situation works, or don't understand how subsidized housing works. I don't know which county you're in but in Fairfax, it isn't just a bunch of "projects." Yes, there are a few solely-low income buildings, but the Fairfax Housing Authority also owns many houses and condos throughout the county, mixed in with regular housing. They also have deals with apartment complexes to subsidize X number of units in a building.

Lastly, many complexes also have a certain number of rent controlled units they rent on their own.

I'm honestly kind of dumbfounded at what neighborhood you could possibly be in with a 50% FARMS rate that you would have no clue where they're coming from. Seriously, what school?[/quote]
