lastly, suggesting better path: current #FundedInclusionary focuses on costly, new, large, high-end bldgs; while v likely, far more cost-effective alternatives exist. Eg incenting new ADUs or #CottageCluster, acquiring distressed assets, or #AffordabilityEasement (s). 4/5 bsky.app/profile/tmcc...
re. #FundedInclusionary housing, I coined term and support forms of, but see major issues, red flags e.g. in how unfolding in PDX so far, and proposed OR #SB1521. Looks v graft prone—big tax expenditures, insider dealing, shaky to no analysis, little to no oversight, easily of little public benefit
periodic reminder of my longstanding and evolving case that Portland's ' #FundedIZ' (or imo better ' #FundedInclusionary) program is deeply flawed for multiple reasons; but a key way why so points to a potential huge improvement in cost-effectiveness and housing availability: x.com/tmccormick/s...
I coined the term #FundedInclusionary Housing as discussed here, and support forms of; but question the form lately promoted as in WA #HB1491 here: or see ways it might be made far more impactful (perhaps later) 1/x

what if #FundedInclusionary Housing programs extended to include non-new construction—looking for what rates highest in positive net social impact, for the costs? Call it Inclusionary [or Expanded] Inclusionary.
