They turn around and donate some cash to an "affordability" fund to get out of building any affordable units in their new developments. I'm somewhat torn about this: something has to be done to insure that a variety of economic classes live and mix in proximity in our cities ,but it seems like affordability programs don't do much to help the working poor but offer plenty of assistance to folks who are on disability and other assistance programs perpetually. Despite my radical leftist beliefs, I feel like the family that works in the downtown should be able to live "close" to their work if they want to, with an available pool of affordable housing in the market.
