This seems appropriate usage of a malicious compliance. I wonder how the city is going to respond. TLDR: Under the city’s new 485-x tax program, rental building projects that cross the 100-unit threshold trigger higher wage requirements for construction workers and stricter affordability rules (1). The result? Builders are trimming down their plans and capping projects at 99 apartments to dodge the extra costs.
