I truly love the idea of single-development mixed-income housing, but I just don’t see it working in the US. Either the subsidized units are poor quality, leading to the same stigma as our current public housing, or they’re the same as the unsubsidized units but only a few lucky people can get them, which would really not fly here.

> I truly love the idea of single-development mixed-income housing, but I just don’t see it working in the US. It's already working[1] in California. This is happening through the California Housing Finance Agency[2]: > The CalHFA Mixed-Income Program (MIP) provides long-term subordinate financing for the new construction of affordable multifamily developments throughout California that provide housing with units restricted at all income levels between 30% and 120% of the Area Median Income of the county in which the development will be located. So while it's not outright subsidized, the state is providing the financing for these projects.
