Re: “Why too many households can't afford the housing that's available” [Voices, Nov. 30]:
Yes, 30 percent of income as the maximum you can afford for housing costs is the long-established guideline. So, if you make $3,000 per month ($20 per hour), your monthly housing budget would be $900.
Everyone knows how little house or apartment $900 will get you. “Affordable housing” does not exist for many people because their income is too small.
I am renovating an attic. I bought the wood from a local sawmill and most of the rest of the materials (insulation, wiring, etc.) from Home Depot.
