Having lived in affordable housing and worked there for 20 years in Seattle, I don’t recommend it.
Taxing yourself to build an instant slum seems incredibly stupid.
Better losing your low-income folks to a large city where the infrastructure can support them.
More money for all social services will be required — money they don’t have now, even for housing.
It may give rise to a new festival, however — a shoplifting one.
Perhaps a yearly one.
