4000个units 到2010年完成. 也就是说一年1000多个. 而且注意," providing everything from new apartment units to basement suites and mobile homes," "is welcome news for an advocate for the poor"............................好象很多是为homeless or poor准备的. ) n5 h1 |9 P1 {, c/ Y2 [" t

! i6 L4 u, l9 a可以断定: 这项目对中国新老移民没有很大帮助, 只是隔壁家里开饭, 让你闻闻香而已.

我们大多数是按照技术移民被接纳的,这就意味着政府认为你在这个国家能自食其力,自己生存。廉价房屋当然没有考虑咱们的需要啦。
