The deputy mayor announced plans to transform a city-owned meat market site into a cultural hub with housing, addressing the city's housing crisis.
Maria Torres-Springer described the development as a 'cultural and artistic hub' that would include up to 600 apartments and substantial public space.
Community concerns arose about the affordability of housing, with activists questioning why the new development isn't planned to be 100% affordable.
Locals have debated for decades whether to maintain the downtown meat markets, perceiving them alternately as a unique feature or an urban dilemma.
