Honestly, this seems like the kind of balanced approach we need more of in city policy

It’s good to see a focus on both affordable housing and sustainability, instead of just picking one or the other. Using mass timber is an interesting choice—hopefully, it actually helps with environmental goals without driving up costs too much. I also like that they’re aiming for mixed-income units, since that tends to help neighborhoods stay diverse and avoid some of the pitfalls of past housing projects. Overall, I’m cautiously optimistic, but I’ll be watching to see if the city can pull this off without getting bogged down in political drama.
