[quote=Anonymous]So glad that the mayor says that supports affordable housing. Then where was she during planning and approvals of the Wharf, a mile-long construction project now nearing completion. This project was built on District owner or controlled land, which means under DC rules that 30 percent of the units should have been priced as affordable. Yet only 8 to 10 percent of the Wharf’s units were are designated as “inclusive zoning” which is at a higher income qualifying level than truly affordable or even workforce housing. Why didn’t DC insist on 30 percent affordable housing or higher at this publicly controlled, mostly vacant site. It seems like another missed opportunity, another Bowser giveaway to developers. Yet now Bowser wants to upzone residential neighborhoods for affordable housing, she claims. Oh, and for a lot more high-margin, upscale projects for her cronies and contributors.[/quote]
