Keep The Affordable Housing Outside, Please
A gate with stone pillars will separate the haves from the have-nots at a recently approved development for seniors in Monterey County, California.
Cypress Knolls, a 188-acre "retirement-lifestyle development" planned in Marina, California, will build its affordable housing units on an eight-acre plot outside the rest of the gated community.
"Before approving the development on Nov. 8, the Marina City Council adopted an affordable housing ordinance that reads: 'All inclusionary units…shall be reasonably dispersed throughout the development.'
City officials say the Cypress Knolls affordable homes will be built outside the gate so the residents don't have to pay homeowners association fees. The fees, which will fund street maintenance, landscaping and security, are expected to cost about $350 a month."
