Reply to comment by mowotlarx in Can New York Fix Its Housing Crisis? It Depends on the Suburbs by thenewyorktimes

I along with anyone else reasonable have nothing against 100% market rate housing as long as there's infrastructure to support it - the more, the merrier. Currently everything comes with inclusionary zoning strings attached meaning any apartment building comes with a potential mini-NYCHA in it. No thanks!

Then Scarsdale really has nothing to worry about, since they're not being asked to make housing for anyone less than a millionaire (ickyyyyy!)

Let’s be honest here - there is a very good chance of ending up with some rather “icky” characters when dealing with the 0-30% AMI crowd that’s typically mandated by inclusionary zoning.
