I'm not sure policy supports that tho - which could result in this not being built at all for a decade, maybe.
I'd be happier if the City actually retained title to land like this, rather than sell it off. We've seen time and time again that wildly inflating land prices are making it impossible to deliver true affordable housing so why lose control of it? The City should easily be able to build affordable housing on those lands themselves.
