I visited the site of Disney's first affordable housing development. Here's what I found.
Briefly

In Horizon West, Disney plans to develop nearly 1,400 mixed-income housing units on 80 acres of land, emphasizing the urgent need for affordable housing. The project is part of a larger community, ideally located near essential services and schools. Critics express concerns about the area’s infrastructure and potential overcrowding, while supporters argue the project will help address the ongoing housing insecurity affecting local workers, including cast members. Disney has already implemented wage increases for employees, reflecting their commitment to improving living conditions in the region.
Disney has stated that the 'critical' need for affordable housing units prompted it to pursue the project, as many residents are struggling with housing insecurity.
There is an ongoing tension in Horizon West, where residents are concerned about overcrowding and infrastructure capacity as mixed-income housing is set to be developed.
