^^^ strongly agree on your last point Tilda.

The economics of downtown property simply don't allow for affordable housing on that spot. What we can do as a Community is to get the best tax return possible on downtown land and use the majority of that to fund low/mid rise affordable infill in the neighborhoods that surround downtown.

The only thing stopping this type of thinking would be Nimby's and folks like laura morrison. Really too bad for the greater community.
