You age, experience, and family make up is what drives my opinion.

With 9,000 of these positions offering salaries exceeding $100,000 annually, the influx of employees and their families is projected to drive up demand for housing significantly.

Like I cant drive and just recently I lost job.

In the process, I would either lose this potential tenant and yet would have gone thru the process esp. when I wanted to avoid getting engaged with the city Like someone's comment elsewhere - the tenants who come thru this program are not well earning, so what is the probability they will 1) stay longer& not have to be evicted and or 2) the payments in time/ partial 3) will they trash the place
