"The Flood School lot is zoned for single-family housing, but Ravenswood City School District hopes to build 90 units of affordable housing for staff at the vacant site."
This is like the 3rd article this week on this topic. The Almanac keeps referring to "affordable housing", but they neglect to clarify it is affordable RENTING - not owning.
Also missing is the fact that back in 2018, Ravenswood considered building 28 single-story units, which at the time was within the density limits the site was zoned for. However, the
proposal was ultimately deemed economically unfeasible - aka, they wouldn't be able to make enough $ off of it. Is no one is paying attention to the fact that all the Ravenswood school district wants to do is make money on the deal? And as much $ as possible?
