Let’s be honest here - there is a very good chance of ending up with some rather “icky” characters when dealing with the 0-30% AMI crowd that’s typically mandated by inclusionary zoning.

I along with anyone else reasonable have nothing against 100% market rate housing as long as there's infrastructure to support it - the more, the merrier. Currently everything comes with inclusionary zoning strings attached meaning any apartment building comes with a potential mini-NYCHA in it. No thanks!

I am talking about the low-income section 8 renters - are you telling me with a straight face every last one of them is a star student heading to Harvard or Yale?

Buyers are paying seven figure prices and five figure property taxes so their kids can attend public schools that rival some of the best private schools in the US. It only takes a few violent, disruptive students to ruin an entire school and that is exactly what low income housing brings - why would current homeowners not fight it tooth and nail? If you disagree with that, would you like to pay $500K for a Ferrari that will be taken away and replaced with a Fiero in a couple months?

I would be extremely surprised if there’s no requirement for a certain non-trivial percentage of all newly built housing to be low-income.

But there’s no dinner my mao-loving friend, just the need for a wheelbarrow full of cash if you need a place to live. Landlords are banned, what do you along with everyone else new to the area do - buy a place for a million or so each time you need to move and lose a cool hundred grand or so in selling and re-buying expenses each time you need to move elsewhere, or spend more on a couple days at a hotel than you would have spent on a month at an apartment owned by one of those rent-seeking parasites? Use that gray squishy stuff between your ears, it’s got to be at least somewhat functional with that fancy title of yours!

Oh, I'm not a landlord, I don't want to deal with mao-worshipping deadbeats like you. When time comes to move I'll just sell my place to the highest bidder who has the resources to boot you to the curb as soon as you stop paying, be it some large local slumlord or BlackRock. Funny thing is I got my place cheap and could rent it out cheap because it m not hurting for money but since MA loves deadbeats you'll be renting it from some slumlord and having your wallet raped instead.
Also my other question still stands - got a million for a condo? Or $300 per night for a hotel, perhaps?

Given the current housing shortages caused by rampant NIMBYism and downright idiotic housing policies which make new construction incredibly expensive landlords get to be very picky when choosing tenants - why take a risk on a single mother with spotty employment history who is quite likely to fall behind on rent when there's 10 well-paid professionals with no kids and perfect credit score fighting over a pen to sign the lease?

Say, can I have your $30,000 car for $1,000? I know you can get more money from someone else but my ability to get a cheap car is more important than your ability to get more money!

Dream tenant responsible adult would either accept the proposed rent, try to negotiate lower mutually agreeable rent or choose not to renew the lease at the time when the notification is received, not wait till the very last second just so they can screw over the property owner (and in the end just end up screwing themselves.)

You do what you want but don't come back whining when you need to find an apartment with a month to spare and "avoid like the plague" reference from your landlord. Or were you planning to take it a step further and squat once the lease isn't renewed and you're asked to leave because the law says you can't be evicted without a court order?
