Boston
CAROLYN Lane, on a salary of less than US$50,000 a year, moved in May into one of Boston's most luxurious new rental complexes. She has access to a rooftop pool, two gyms and an indoor dog-relieving station - and pays a third of what it costs her neighbours for the same one-bedroom layout.
"It's a slice of heaven," said Ms Lane, who has a monthly rent of US$1,190 after winning an affordable-housing lottery at the 315-unit Ink Block apartments. The administrative assistant was one of 544 entrants for just 41 discounted residences.
