I guess it would all depend on how mixed the income is. Obviously it seems to work all over the country including here in SLC with market rate middle class, and low income subsidized all in the same building, the Metro "_____" developments by Cowboy Partners. I also see it working with middle class and upper class in buildings such as CCC condos, and American Towers.
I do however wonder if a three tiered system would be effective, such as the 25/65/10 that Makid suggested. If there are examples that have been effective I would love to hear of them. I just wonder if the two ends are too far apart socially and economically, to reside in the same building.
I can easily see the three tiers happening in an urban neighborhood or district thought, which I actually think is happening somewhat effectively in downtown SLC right now.
