_"I’m really confused now."_ 12AB34CD

I can help if you'll pay close attention ...

Let me speak first to "MUPTE." 

It was mainly the result of my opposition, including filing a petition initiative to require a public vote, that City Council didn't renew MUPTE for a long while after the Capstone debacle. When the City Manager brought forward a new proposal, it was (as always) a POC and didn't address the two big problems: a) using the incentive for the type of housing we actually need, and b) compatibility with established neighborhoods. I coordinated efforts that led a majority of council to revise the CM's proposal and add a "workforce housing" requirement, and a provision that Council cannot expand MUPTE in any area other than downtown until city council approves "refinement plan policies that specifically provide for multiple-family and mixed use projects within that area."

The CM and Mayor have never moved forward on the details of the "workforce housing" requirement.
