You Want Carpet and Windows with That? »

Apparently the Charlotte Housing Authority has subsidized rent of an apartment that costs $750 per month at one location in Charlotte. Not too bad if you consider that this is for a three-bedroom unit. There are places in this world (in this country, even) where you'll pay that much for a closet.

When it really starts to get odd is when you consider that the very same unit may cost as much as $331 less if it's not being rented by the Housing Authority. If your first thought is anything like mine, you're likely thinking that this landlord is simply milking the government for some extra dough. Apparently you'd be wrong.
