yep, one developer proposed an 'affordable' development that would have trashed all of the codes for setbacks, yard size, parking, etc. Didn't pass as the surrounding neighborhoods raised h*ll saying this level of density would hurt property values, increase traffic, etc. Prices still exceeded 'affordable' - defined as the payments for a person making the county-wide median family income could not exceed 30% of income, and they were the same, 3 story, tall skinny homes with no basements and almost no yard, save a 'common area' green space. Funny, they said would appeal to seniors since the tiny yards would be easy to maintain, but my parents downsized due to trouble navigating the stairs when they were in their 70's. - how many seniors want all those stairs a 3 story home would have?!
