Most communities will not revisit affordable housing until (sigh) mandated by a higher level of government.
It is in the interest of local government that low income people live Somewhere Else.
Locals usually deal with unfavorable local conditions by appealing to a higher level of government. That’s why you get Washington sticking its nose into housing issues and why landlords run to their legislature when potential local rent controls are proposed.
And then the taxpayers say no to Washington doing something about it with taxpayr dollars.
Then, when those who are in the low-income housing finally get tired of it, and with Washington being neutralized, they will pick themselves up by their “bootstraps” and improve their own lot in life.
Pardon me but Real Estate prices are about location! location! location! Even if you put low income housing into a high priced location, the value of that 'low income' property will go up, because demand for it will be higher. Prices stay low in places where nobody wants to live.
This is the bases of the Supreme Court's decision which unconstitutionally expanded the reach of Eminent Domain, June, 2005, by forcibly shifting land from one private owner to another. Property which has increased in value or who's location is strategic for other purposes, even with fair compensation, the Supreme Court's decision violates the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, which prohibits the taking of property by government except for "public use." Eminent Domain is not to transfer from one private owner to another according to the constitution, yet now, according to the Supreme Court the powerful may do this to the less powerful. Without the right to private property there can be no liberty!
