Abstract
It is not clear how much of the success of the Lake Parc Place experiment is due to income mixing and how much simply to the fact that it was turned into a well‐managed development with a carefully screened group of tenants. The Rosenbaum, Stroh, and Flynn study provides little empirical evidence to support the added value of income mixing, because nearly half of the low‐income households of Lake Parc Place were employed. Instead, the Lake Parc Place story suggests that income mixing is politically and financially appealing but socially unnecessary, at least in cases where housing authorities and their partners are able to revitalize developments in ways that can attract working families with very low incomes.
