But affordability came with a price…
Downward spiral of areas with large concentration of affordable housing § Pull factor for people with no jobs + people just getting buy § Careermakers left a.s.a.p. § High mutation rates + weak sociale networks + poor maintenance § Criminal activities grew + liveability worsened 10

Around year 2000: shift in housing policy § A strong economy ánd an attractive residential city § No longer just an escalator city for lower incomes and lower educated à enabling housing career within city borders
