As the housing affordability gap widens, middle-income families are especially hard-hit, and these families can no longer qualify to buy homes, and rising rental rates force them to use far more than the standard 25 percent of their incomes for housing, leaving them with no equity or tax write-offs to offset the expenditures.

(B) since these families can no longer afford to buy homes, furthermore
(C) for these families can no longer afford to buy homes, yet
(D) and these families can no longer afford to buy homes; however,

just becoz B conveys the meaning correctly, The use of "yet" in C changes the meaning of the sentence and if you see the sentence as a whole, the construction is awkward with C.
Experts, any advise?
Thanks

I haven't been posting or answering any questions over on that part of the website. So I guess it's not a wrong perception -- I barely even check over there. Post the link of whatever you're referring to and I'll take a look, although I moderate the SC forum only right now.
