#Upzoning versus #InclusionaryZoning: Who would win?
A lot of cities and states - like Florida (!) - pair permissive zoning with requirements that 10 or 20% of new units are set aside as deed-restricted affordable housing. Does it work? In New Rochelle, with a 10% mandate and upzoning to 48 stories, it did.

But in Somerville, Mass, with a modest upzoning and 20% requirement, it looks like the scale tilted the other way. Somerville boosted IZ in 2016 and again in 2019, taking it down to 3-unit buildings. It also upzoned in 2019.
