So a developer agreed to construct a building with almost 400 affordable housing units but the local councilwoman said no. Total insanity. The councilwoman probably wants all the units to be affordable - so guess what - it will never get built because that would make the building unprofitable for a builder. This councilwoman would rather have no affordable housing units than a new building where almost 400 of the 900 units are affordable. Amazing stupidity.

Right. And she doesn’t care about her constituents. Health issues with more idling engines, etc. Good for her at representing the interests of her district. Clearly a truck depot is worse than a new building, but I don’t blame the developer this time around.

No, he wanted to change zoning and said that’s what he would build in order to get the zoning changed. He would have been under no obligation to actually build anything like that once the zoning changed.
