I read the A version in full on subway and moving on to the extended B....Volunteer its actually quite casual and soft for ordinance langauge. My summary of it after first read is "If you as a private developer are going to take advantage of public financial incentives then you need to take care of same public." Its a loosely written, my opinion, "anti-gentrification" ordinance at least with regards on how "community" and "public" are taken advantage of in development and a demand for benefiting the community that will benefit the developer/private investor. From a standpoint of working with NYC type developers, I see too many opportubities for the developer to legally wriggle themselves out of it. I do like this though and want to know more.

Total nightmare from a development perspective as if doing development in Detroit weren't hard enough already. It's almost sure to pass and will grind to a halt even most small-scaled mixed use projects.

link doesn't work for me....

I think just the tip of the iceberg in a potential conflict between the "rich/white/college grad" downtown vs the rest of the city.
