110 residential units. That could be really good if anyone who lives here can afford them.

We need more housing at all price levels right now. Yes, ideally there would be more affordable units being built, but having more market rate units will spread the demand a little thinner and help keep rents from rising as quickly as they would otherwise.

Yep. Affordable housing is fantastic, but market rate housing beats no housing.

This is true, but...is there *any* affordable housing being built right now? I beat this same drum but at some point it starts feeling like we're just paying lip service to affordable housing while single family houses and luxury apartments keep constantly popping up everywhere.
