Did I miss it? That article is quite long and mentions “affordable apartments” about eleventy-seven times but never once describes what definition of “affordable” they are using.

Without that I have no clue what these numbers mean or whether they mean anything.

I wonder how much of that is supported by having the second highest minimum wage in America?

Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely pro increasing the minimum wage, but apartment affordability and how much money the lowest earning people can make are directly correlated.
