I don't see if there are other non-age-restricted designated affordable units, but I would sure hope so. I also don't see that the city is kicking in any money in the form of grants, loans, or tax reductions, which might explain the inability to force more affordable units.

Either way, more supply is still a good thing...especially in a location like this.
