I want to point out that my suggestion to quantify the amount of housing we need to build was not made in an attempt to "delay" anything. Projects are moving forward as we speak on both Nicollet and Lake and Franklin and Portland to add a substantial number of both market rate and affordable rental and homeownership units.
Greg Luce is employed to work with lower income families that have housing needs. It's understandable that this area would be his focus. However, this city needs housing at many different levels up to and including high end luxury homes if we are going to accommodate all the people moving here in the next 10-15 years and beyond. If a report already exists that defines the amount of new housing we need and where it should be placed coupled with what we already have and its location, I would LOVE a copy. It would be very helpful to many of the neighborhoods I work with. If a report doesn't exist, we need one to guide us.
