Some clarification attempted

Tom Daykin courageously attempts some clarification on the subsidized/workforce housing confusion that many opponents of tax-credit developments seem to have.

I'd like to add that in New Berlin, many people are claiming that they are upset because the area is supposed to be upscale with high-end condos. They say they feel betrayed that this is not happening, that they are a victim of bait & switch.

I went to the introduction of the City Center Design Guidelines and found this on the second page:


Common sense and reason should always be used to evaluate development proposals with the recognition that changing market conditions may suggest alternate development solutions that have not been anticipated by these guidelines.

If those times don't qualify as changing market conditions, I don't know what does.
