Will redevelopment bring affordable housing to St Pete's Gas Plant District?

Full Story: wfts.tv/3GOr281
While the future home of the Rays Major League Baseball team is still up in the air, the redevelopment of the “Historic Gas Plant District,” now known as Tropicana Field, will bring more affordable and workforce housing to St. Petersburg.
Mayor Ken Welch is expected to choose the proposal from one of four development teams by the end of January. In those proposals, he is looking for elements of affordable living.
Former mayors have started this redevelopment process, but Welch said past proposals don’t cover the current needs of the city, such as more jobs, housing, and the African American history of the site.

Simple answer.....NO. You can not fight the free market. Government needs to keep their noses out of it.

It will not

I hope they honor or dig up the three cemeteries that the Tropicana Field is built on

Cemeteries that are not cared for by the decendants often become overgrown and forgotten. Many end up under new development. Look at Europe...they have 2 sometimes 3 layers in their old cities.

@@subicstationditosailor4053yea they usually wait at least a century or so. Btw, in response to your other comment, unregulated free market caused the 2008 real estate crash so hopefully no one listens to you.
