I applaud the City Council's efforts to create new affordable housing and hope for the following outcomes: That the City be sure to lease and not sell the property (in accordance with the Public Lands Policy that City Council adopted years ago that has still not been enacted); that Council require more than 30% of units be affordable, given that we have a such a glut of market rate units already and such a deficit of affordable ones and that each new market rate unit built increases the need for affordable units; and that the affordable units encompass VLI and ELI as well as variety in number of bedrooms.
