In case you missed it, this entire approach to providing affordable housing is very controversial and the law that was passed was relatively anemic in terms of unit production after extensive negotiation and compromise with the development community. I'm not exactly clear where some folks think its acceptable for poor or working class people to live. You seem to be saying this plot of land should've been sold off so a for profit developer could build something near Temple and then PHA could use the money to house poor people on the outskirts of the city. Which is interesting because others were saying the proximity to transit is the reason this place shouldn't include any parking.
