What I find so very interesting is that some members of the city council are so 'desperate' to get 'affordable' housing that they want to decrease the size of build lots currently in the MCDA inventory. They have already pass a change to increase the number of units allowed on currently buildable lots. At least one of the council members feels that 'density' is good, especially in the poorer neighborhoods. Well, why don't they do something with these houses, most of which appear to be on build lots under the current definition. Some of these buildings are multiple dwellings. Come on, guys, let's get going.
