Yet Another Housing Study Proving Housing Ain't Affordable

The Center for Housing Policy has come out with a report, Paycheck to Paycheck, that documents the lack of affordable housing across the country.  They even have a cool interactive database.  Go check it out.

This joins other studies such as the National Low Income Housing Coalition's Out of Reach and the Technical Assistance Collaborative & Consortium of Citizens with Disabilities' Priced Out in 2010 report.

An interesting feature of Paycheck to Paycheck is that they look at the jobs that are growing during this anemic recovery, and analyze if they're enough to afford a median 2-bedroom apartment.
