a recent report came out saying that inclusionary zoning (ie, affordable housing in new construction) rarely if at all, affects housing prices and production. seeing these new condo buildings with apartments going for ridiculous prices, mixed housing at the very least, is welcome in these developments. i have little sympathy for developers as i imagine them complaining about affordable housing ruining their profit margins, while cutting as many corners as possible on their way to homogenizing these neighborhoods.
