Impact analysis
For the city, this likely means new construction investment and more senior rental supply, though the source doesn’t spell out costs, fees, or tax revenue.
Low-income seniors gain housing near transit, services, and shopping.
Critics say restricting all affordable units to seniors excludes working-age residents who also need affordable housing.
