Affordable Housing and Housing Affordability

Ah yes. I was addressing that Mary Black was comparing this to redlining in the past. I think the site is similar to Park City South and injects affordable housing into a thriving community that is trending upwards. I think its location right against the creek and across from Eliza Pool Park is fantastic! Having access to nature/parks is viewed as a premium and drives real estate costs up. This has been a sore spot for the low income community because when you place a park or outdoor amenity near low income housing, prices go up, rents go up, and people get priced out. This project would benefit the low income population in this respect.
