Will any of these new apartments have low-income apartments? The city should request 10% low-income on new dwellings. People in the city are being priced out as rent becomes more than 50% of income.

Oh they will be low income for sure. Because anyone with a sense of smell will not be able to live that close to Yates rubber. The smell of burning rubber will be in everything curtains couches etc
