Jersey City Council adopts new inclusionary zoning ordinance for affordable housing
“’Jersey City has always housed working class people,’ said Jeanne Daly, who called for 20 percent affordable housing across the city. ‘It should be restored to that state. It’s a shame it has changed so much.’
Kristianne Molina, another resident, said that downtown should have 20 percent affordable housing.
‘I believe the city can make housing in Ward E even more accessible to lower income residents,’ she said. ‘This would diversify the neighborhood and include affordable housing for more people of color, keeping the integrity of Jersey City being the most diverse city in the country.'”
