We have some serious misconceptions about who lives in new housing. Reams of data show that it's primarily local residents. In this study, more than 2/3 of the 52,000 residents living in new market-rate housing came from the same city where that housing was built.

This is the first I’m hearing of this Blue Ribbon Committee. And they’re already meeting? What’s the point if there’s not more public involvement/scrutiny?
