it's not. It's necessary within current constraints to ensure production of housing at all levels of affordability

Indeed. And preferably spread the costs of affordable housing more broadly across the tax base than IZ (i.e. all current residents & businesses, not just new residents).

what is the difference between "a stable, recurring revenue source for below market rate housing" and "public housing"?

The former will most likely be built and owned by a non-profit while the latter by a county or city government. The affordability deed-restrictions on the former will expire after 35-55 years.

Inclusionary isn't the silver bullet, but this is way too small sample size to come to any conclusion. Can't single out this one factor when you can only look at a single year, and inclusionary has worked in other markets.

I agree. Inclusionary requirements are bad. They are a direct tax on new development. A better option would be a stable tax paid by all residents.

An inclusionary bonus would also be good. Tax abatement, increasing density, etc. in exchange for on-site affordable homes
