TODs, Smart Growth, etc. Aug 11, 2006 Independence Institute “The Truth about TOD”http://www.i2i.org/main/article.php?article_id=1300 TOD: A solution in search of a problem http://www.cascadepolicy.org/pdf/env/2003_24.pdf http://www.cascadepolicy.org/?p=300 http://www.cascadepolicy.org/?p=302 Cascade Policy Institute (John A. Charles) has researched extensively the Portland subsidies for TODs. One of their reports itemizes the subsidies per TOD. The downtown TOD was subsidized with $10,000 per year tax credits for 10 years, total $100,000 subsidy per unit.( What is particularly astonishing for Honolulu is that the Governor and unions are talking about $150,000-$250,000 subsidies per unit for low income and affordable housing - higher than Portland's subsidies.) Cliff Slater did this article on Portland's TODs. http://www.rppi.org/odyssey.shtml |
