why buy 10 lots to begin with ? the city seems to reach too far when it proposes things. 29 is poor.
why not start with ONE building lot and see how things progress there.
I don't think the city should become a landlord to housing.
If the city would make it easier for prospective home owners to actually build a house, perhaps more residential buildings would show up. lessen fees, regulation, etc that make people actually wanting to build their residence here more builder freindly.
it takes literally years to build a home from scratch in this city. too many fees and regulations that frustrate potential new home buyers.
I think the minimum is 10 so that the prospective homeowners can pool their sweat equity on the building, which also lays the basis for neighborhood relationships. They are creating community not just building houses.

I guess the real issue isn’t whether the process is complicated, but whether the city genuinely wants ordinary people to have access to housing
