Here's another question (apologies if this has already been answered): would
the zoning change if the affordability ever goes away? In other words, if
the city permits a 24-unit building where the "non-affordable" standard is
20 units, and then a few years later the affordable units become
market-rate, would the owner be required to keep 4 units vacant? Seems
unlikely, but possible.

Also, how is affordability monitored by the city? Do property owners send in
rent reports? Are they audited? Or is it pretty much the honor system?
