Letter to the editor: Housing questions
Lawrence Journal-World opinion section
To the editor:
The Journal-World series on affordable housing raises some interesting questions.
1) What percentage of housing needs to be affordable for Lawrence to have an acceptable balance?
2) Why such a large jump from 10 percent affordable housing to 35 percent affordable housing for 99-unit or larger developments? What about a more granular approach or formula?
3) I would be interested in a published economic analysis from a developer’s point of view of what “numbers make sense” as one developer described in the May 8 article.
