The Daily Dirt: Fuzzy math in Midtown South
Briefly

The housing projections surrounding the Midtown South rezoning are notably unclear. The City Council stated that the rezoning would enable the development of 9,535 housing units, down from an earlier figure of 9,676 units, indicating a loss of 141 units. City Planning reported a higher loss of 193 units. The exclusions made by the City Council in the rezoning did not account for numerous projected development sites. Additionally, the differences in calculations between the two entities highlight the inherent complexity and uncertainty in such housing projections.
The City Council's adjustments resulted in a projected 9,535 housing units, which is 141 fewer than the original estimate of 9,676 units.

The Council's exclusion of certain areas from the residential district did not account for the 61 projected development sites identified by City Planning.
Discrepancies exist between City Council and City Planning numbers, with the Council noting a 76-unit loss in one area, while City Planning estimated higher.
