Some of the people who will get to enjoy views of the new Carlton Avenue planted median will be the residents of 22 new affordable housing units built for senior citizens. The application deadline for the $750-a-month apartments was last April but, from what we gather, there are still some empty units, a function of the rather narrow income band required ($31,920 to $38,304).

That really is a narrow income band. Why the minimum? Is that because there’s supposed to be plenty housing available for seniors making under $31,000 a year?
