ABSTRACT
You are the planning director in a small but growing upper-income bedroom suburb/city of a major metropolitan area. As part of the department's work program that was approved by the planning commission, you are preparing a report about housing opportunities in the city. New census data confirms your suspicions that there is a lack of land zoned for affordable housing. By analyzing the median income, current housing availability, and future trends, you have concluded that the amount of undeveloped land zoned for apartments should be doubled. You are not alone in this assessment. A team of planners has worked together on the analysis and the recommendations.
