The recent Planning Commission hearing focused on the effects of neighborhood upzoning on housing affordability and diversity. Commissioner Amy Campbell raised pertinent questions regarding the legitimacy of assumptions that upzoning would result in a variety of housing options. Senior planner Lisa Chen highlighted the ongoing research on the subject, noting that while some studies point to negative impacts on affordability and community displacement, others support the potential benefits of upzoning. Data from various cities remains inconclusive, underscoring the complexities of this issue.
It seems like there's a lot of curiosity around the legitimacy of some of these assumptions about upzoning translating to a diversity of housing and more inclusive options.
You can always find a study to make your point about the impacts of upzoning, whether it claims bad impacts or suggests it will not lead to affordability.
