Harrison neighborhood is a mixed income neighborhood + we would like to keep our neighborhood that way. We value diversity and the character of our "low income" neighborhood.

In addition to these policies we definitely need to increase the supply of housing by building new apartments and increasing the density of the neighborhood.

It seems like a lot of newer mixed use buildings have really big commercial spaces in them that can be hard for a small business to afford. The most dynamic spaces are often in smaller footprints in older buildings.
