“Conducted site visits to four locations”
“We have chosen three potential areas for the affordable housing to be built on. The three areas are Whitehorn, Rundle, and Sunnyside. After going down to City Hall and talking to one of the representatives at the building permits counter, we have chosen the final location for the affordable housing project and we have chosen a lot in the NE neighborhood of Whitehorn.”
“Surveys by Urban Planning, sent out, received, analyzed:
• Most residents worried about potential increase in crime, traffic.
• Would be better with the idea of affordable housing with a higher police presence.
• Prefer the Carver LA, style as opposed to typical apartment look, or the Spacebox look
• Not necessarily worried about the need to match the style of the neighborhood - just
make it look nice, modern.”
“On Thursday, the group took a trip to the community where they documented the surrounding businesses, services, and modes of transportation. In addition, they took several pictures of the surrounding community including pre-existing affordable housing projects. All of this information was then made available to the rest of the lab.”
“We believe that the best course of action is to construct 3 separate affordable housing units in different areas of the city. This will avoid creating ghettos and also ensure that there will be variation in the type of services we can provide.”
“Narrowed possible neighborhoods to 3. Did Community Surveys. Worked with costing team to compare property values.”
