If you've ever asked the question, "But what do we do about The Project?" (code language if ever I've heard such), I'd recommend taking a look.
I don't have a simple, glib answer to this question, primarily because there isn't one. However, taking inventory of the principles involved and being willing to speak openly about them surely must constitute the first step toward understanding.
Has the local Democratic Party ever had anything coherent to say about these issues?
Didn't think so.
How New Affordable Housing Development Incentives Could Change Louisville, by Jacob Ryan (WFPL)
The Metro Council on Thursday will take up an ordinance that housing advocates say is imperative for expanding affordable housing options in the city.
At present, Louisville is a sharply segregated city with a zoning policy that may violate fair housing laws, said Cathy Hinko, executive director of the Metropolitan Housing Coalition. This vulnerability stems from zoning policies that ban development of certain housing types in some areas of the city.
The ordinance up for council consideration is seen by fair housing advocates as a first step to address these problems and give low-income residents more housing options outside of historically impoverished neighborhoods.
It’s a first step, Hinko said, but a big one.
