I built a solar field on star farm road a few years ago. The landowner wanted to build an apartment building, but the city was fighting it, so he had an array built because it was less of a struggle.

It also seems that new construction apartments are built for section 8 or 55+.

That site was a wetland and even the solar racking had to make special accommodation of that. The fact that housing couldn't be built there wasn't because of NIMBY.

New apartments are Section 8? Which ones? In Burlington, the new affordable housing I'm aware of is only what is required by the City's inclusionary zoning when market rate housing is built.

The section 8 and 55 plus crowd are the ones that are desperately hurting.
