Mix in low income/subsidized housing and market rate housing, and then sell some blocks to developers as well. Until this is done, these projects will be a huge hole in the doughnut of development.
Turning huge inner-city acreage into cheap suburban tracts simply sends a message of no confidence in the city's future.
