#inclusionaryzoning — Public Fediverse posts

I often praise Jersey City because they are doing so much right in a region famous for getting it wrong. Still they have their challenges as this article notes. Most crucially they have been alone working to reduce displacement. I am hopeful that NYC finally waking up may turn the tide some. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/nyregion/jersey-city-housing.html?unlocked_article_code=1.DVA.SKh3.Q0S1GKZjdKI7&smid=nytcore-ios-share #GiftArticle #JerseyCity #housing #zoning #NYC #InclusionaryZoning #shortage #displacement #homelessness #inflation #construction #TheRentIsTooDamnHigh

Updated #Kitchener report on #InclusionaryZoning does a great job refuting developer opposition:

“IZ units are exempt from DCs, CBCs and parkland dedication. [These are] expected to have positive impacts on development pro formas.”

“Developers have a responsibility to be part of the solution by avoiding speculation and incorporating realistic revenue expectations into their land purchase decisions.”
