A new building in D.C.'s Adams Morgan neighborhood will provide housing for low-income residents and formerly incarcerated individuals, costing around $1.2 million per apartment, largely funded by taxpayers. This trend of high development costs for affordable housing is seen in cities like San Francisco and Chicago, raising concerns about the future of affordable housing initiatives. The building includes features like a rooftop aquaponics farm, aiming to support tenant health and well-being, while emphasizing the importance of location in providing opportunities for success.

"The D.C. building, called Ontario Place, will include a rooftop aquaponics farm to produce fresh fruits and vegetables for its tenants."
