City grapples with Beltline housing prices

What started as a plan for trails, green space, mass transit and other redevelopment near the inner city is now focusing on affordable housing for rank-and-file workers.

The proposed 22 mile Beltline will travel through intown neighborhoods as far north as Buckhead and as far south as south of Turner Field.

As the Atlanta City Council attempts to refine a plan to pay for the proposed Beltline, the cost of housing is still up for debate.

The goal is to subsidize households with annual income from $27,000 to $40,000.
