4 thoughts on “Local developers, officials look for solutions to fill affordable housing gap

  1. The answer? Get rid of red tape that doesn’t cause measurable harm to the health of neighbors (not just baseless fear of harm).

    Get rid of SFH zoning, to start. It doesn’t make sense.

    1. @Murray & @JJ Frankie J: In Indianapolis/Marion County they are referred to as ‘D-A’ (Dwelling-Agricultural District, min. Lot size 3 acres), ‘D-S’ (Dwelling-Suburban District, min Lot size 1 acre), and ‘D-1’ (Dwelling-District 1, min Lot size 24k sf). Section 03, pg. 175: https://media.graphassets.com/VxzYy590TSC2BGa05Dv7

      @Robert H: The only D-A, D-S, or D-1 (single-family housing) neighborhood/subdivision (between Washington and 38th street inside I-465), that isn’t in a flood zone or industrial park, was “Golden Hill”, and no, I don’t think we should be building an apartment complex there, nor do I believe they should be forced to convert their million-dollar homes to duplexes. https://maps.indy.gov/MapIndy/?page=page_1&views=view_13
