Whether any given piece <br />of City land should get used for this should be taken case-by-case. Even if this strategy is <br />pursued aggressively, it seems unliky to make a big dent.] would be more excited to see a <br />requirement to build mixed low-income and market -rate housing as part of all new commercial <br />development -- as it is now, things seem very lopsided in favor of commercial development.And <br />of course, we must reform zoning regulations to allow denser housing and more residential <br />development overall! <br />+3 3 I'm generally in favor of this, but the devil is in the details of how these projects would be <br />funded, approved and operated.
