I am not opposed to affordable housing, whatever that is supposed to be. But requiring all new developments to incorporate same into their proposal without reference to the intended market and location is very shortsighted and will have a negative effect upon development.

"Irrelevant." Perhaps, but is often informative. The fact that you would not want to live in a new $2,000/month place, next door to someone of limited means, does not mean that there are not people who would. I have a rooming house on one side of me and a co-op house on the other side. I have good neighbours. A mix can result in a great neighborhood. There are rich and poor ghettos.
