The state of Florida requires every city to file a plan to ensure that enough affordable housing gets built. Many prosperous South Florida cities skirt the law. State reviewers don't stop them.
Some cities file plans that are half-hearted.
Key Biscayne's plan simply says that affordable housing requirements do not apply there. Some cities file plans and then apparently violate their provisions. This is common. Some pointed instead to a handful of affordable single-family homes that had been built. Plan reviewers at the state Department of Community Affairs attributed the lack of results to their lack of authority.
