Listen to Michelle Obama because she will tell you what to eat, unfortunately not when to eat it though. Your going to have to just eat when your hungry I guess. I work at MOVE 4 LESS 11844 Dublin Blvd, Dublin CA 94568 (925)307-5424 and would like to request my low income condo please. The government knows best how you should live and who deserves what.

Sheesh! I think what turns some buyers off are the outrageously high HOA dues that only seem to go up and up. I don't blame people for not wanting to buy a condo. With the new/newer single family homes, you have HOA dues, but they are not as high as condos. Owning a home is very expensive.

Home ownership is a privilege to be earned through hard work, not a government-run program funded on the backs of people who get into homes by saving many years for a down payment.I agree that we should set aside some rentals to be BMR precisely for people in your situation, but do we really need 10-15% set aside for every new development? How did Dublin come up with that percentage anyway? How is it that while homes have become more affordable, that percentage is not changing? Seems totally arbitrary to me.Once you start working, you and your husband will be able to put away money for a down payment on a market-rate home. In the mean time, you should simply rent. Set a good example for your daughter, so she will know that the best way to home ownership is through hard work and sacrifice. That way what happened with the subprime mortgage will not happen again when she becomes of age. Just because you are productive member of society does not ENTITLE you to home ownership.

My husband and I would love to afford a new home but unfortunately, we could not afford one in this area. We are currently renting but it would be amazing if we could get a BMR unit. My husband works full time and I stay home with our young daughter and I am going to school full time to become a nurse. Right now, we do not make enough money, but we will eventually. We are productive memebers of our community. Do not take advantage of government programs and do as much as we can to support our community. I wish you all had a better idea of the type of people who are in the BMR units. It is very discouraging how many people are so opposed to BMR units.

It took Elan forever to get sold-out and now the prices are so low, I bet most are under water in their mortgages right now. If there was such a big demand for condos, they would have sold out sooner. Building more condos without a demand will further depress the real estate market.
