Reply to comment by Ultimate_Driving in 95% of Bay Area Cities Lost Zoning Authority: In 105 jurisdictions of the Bay Area, anyone can build any residential projected at any height or density so long as 20% of the units are for low income. by dolphins3

Well, yes. And "low income" in Denver is "Arms dealer megawealthy" in Somalia, but that's not relevant at all because... wait for it... Denver isn't Somalia

My point was that even if a percentage of the units built are dedicated for what they consider to be "low income," it's only families with upper middle class incomes who can afford to buy those units. They're still too expensive for people earning low incomes to afford.

I notice you edited your post to remove the Denver reference.

80% of median is not upper middle class income in the area that this article is about. It sounds like a lot of money, but it is not in those areas. Not all areas are alike. Upper middle class income would be 200k or more.
