Goetz, Edward G.Madrock, Lori2007-11-132007-11-131998https://hdl.handle.net/11299/1525Given the affordability gap already existing in the region, we argue that the stan- dard by which a regional housing program such as LCA should be judged is the degree to which it increases the relative availability of affordable housing. By this standard, we find the LCA program to be ineffective because it not only will fail to increase this availability but will actually reduce it, both for ownership and rental units.en-UShousinglivable communities actLosing Ground: The Twin Cities Livable Communities Act and Affordable HousingReport
