Good. Do it, but raising the cost of building low income housing is going to lower the rate that it's build at.
Not necessarily, if you can offset the higher cost (leading to lower ongoing costs) with cheap financing.
And where's that going to come from? The money has to come from somewhere. Somebody will be paying that extra cost and they won't like it.
