[quote=Anonymous]So how does Bowser propose exactly to reach this target of affordable units in Rock Creek West? If she plans to build public housing, there is not a lot of DC owned land not used by schools, etc., and market purchases of property likely would. e cost-prohibitive in this quadrant. Can she mandate that most, or say 50%, of multifamily units built before her deadline be affordable? Presumably that would require legislative changes. If Bowser is planning to rely on inclusionary zoning provisions, which typically mean that 10% of new units are designated IZ in projects above a certain size, that would mean construction of almost 20,000 new units mostly in Ward 3, to reach her IZ goal. And as others have pointed out, under DC law, IZ is not really 'affordable.'[/quote]
