“He said the study looked at data three years before, and three years after affordable developments moved into neighborhoods. He said the findings of the study debunk the myth that affordable housing increases crime.
‘We saw that robbery and assault went down after the housing units opened,’ Tita said.
In addition, he said they also added value to people’s homes by about $16,000.”
