Impact analysis
Pushing affordable housing to the edges can stick residents with higher transportation costs and leave the city paying to extend services farther out.
Central neighborhoods that avoid new density and developers who build on cheaper edge land can come out ahead.
Lower-income residents get the short end—they’re more isolated from jobs, services, and transit while the city stays divided by income.
