Incentives could include financial support or tax breaks for developers to build housing that is affordable for low- and middle-income families. Proponents argue that it increases the supply of affordable housing and addresses housing shortages. Opponents argue that it interferes with the housing market and can be costly for taxpayers.

What about affordable housing for all. I am a single income female no children and I get nothing and I work my *** off to survive and pay bills eat when I can afford it.
@9V529PY4mos4MO
Yes, but do so by reducing development restrictions and regulations.
@9T6QRJ95mos5MO
the government should construct and manage affordable housing
@9ZTXY872mos2MO
Yes, but they need to have more of a plan for city infrastructure first. Many residential/housing developments are not designed to be environmentally or people-friendly. There should be more roads, plazas, and walkways designed to better handle the population.
@9VW59ZN4mos4MO
Yes but only by permit fees and taxes. Have single family houses under 1400 square feet the lowest rate and then for every sq ft larger impose an additional $10,000 to the fee. Smaller single family homes need to be the norm.
@B2L42TM2 days2D
Yes, government should reduce bureaucracy and approve permits within 6 months max, the government should provide favourable financing for nonprofits to build affordable rental housing.
@B279XJN1mo1MO
We should focus on remaking/repairing older houses for new home owners rather than taking more green space.
@B22FPCG2mos2MO
No, the government should incentivuze market-rate housing
