Hmm, good point.
Too bad, because I would have seen it as a way where suburban developers would almost be forced to subsidize inner city developers to get any growth at all. Thus, a way to make inner city look more attractive (lower prices,) for quality units.
In a teamwork or one developer doing both kinds of developing kind of scenario, they might have to take 5% off the price of inner city stuff and add 5% to the suburban stuff. Result, inner city living gets more affordable, suburban homes cost more, curbing demand, and developer(s) retain profit margins, albeit with some marginal changes to their business model.
