Can Davis grow its way to affordable housing?
In short, no. And you should be highly suspicious of anyone who is claiming that it can. They are either wishful thinkers, misinformed, or being deliberately misleading.
1) Affordability
UCD has the ability to set the cost of its housing.
UCD has a better ability to offer School Year only leases because it can fill the bedrooms with UCD summer camp and summer school participants in the summer thus saving students 3 months of rent every year.
UCD can include housing as part of its financial aid.
UCD already owns the land.
