just a thought - in making/having enough money to purchase a unit for $17M or pay rent upwards of $13k/month, do i REALLY want to live amongst those making in one year what i'm making in one week??? the whole concept sounds noble, but i mean really??? in my view, this will cause units to languish further than they already are...

I can see your point cantdrive55 but do you value a person by their paycheck or their character? Its basically a class structure issue that you have brought up. I personally think its an amazing idea and much will come from it. Whats wrong with living next to a police sgt or a Draper Labs Research scientist or even a high school math teacher. None of the above are in the $17M range. Then again if I were in the $17M range I might feel strange. Its hard to say. Sounds like the model of Tent City. The low rent people are on the first floor and across the South West Corridor. The others are all upstairs.
