Bloomington’s Union at Crescent complex just got another year of tax breaks, even as it struggles with empty units, rising rents, and major safety issues. Over the past eight months, affordable unit occupancy dropped by 40%, while average rent and utilities nearly doubled—despite tenants’ incomes falling. The city council says the challenges—like severe property damage and constant emergency calls—are beyond the owner’s control, but many wonder if tax breaks alone can fix things. What do you think: Should the city keep supporting troubled housing projects, or is it time for a new approach? #RealEstate #Bloomington #AffordableHousing
