[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We should rethink and/or eliminate more high density low income housing. That would help a ton. [/quote]

What does low income housing have to do with it?[/quote]

Student generation rates are higher for committed affordable housing (CAFs in Arlington-speak) than any other housing type. When you build 300 unit buildings at .532 students per unit, you end up with a lot of kids.

So stop building low income housing but continue with market-rate and luxury housing.  Nice.[/quote]

A 300 unit building is going to have approximately 160 kids if it’s a CAF building and 19 if it’s market rate. That’s the math based on existing buildings. [/quote]

Aren’t CAF building incentivize families? Can you qualify for CAF more easily if you have dependents??[/quote]

CAF projects in this area target families with kids. In other states the affordable housing projects may target low income single people, veterans, seniors, the recently housed, and lower to middle income workforce housing. Those projects are mostly affordable studio or one bedroom apartments, even SROs. [/quote]
