"10 percent of units in any new residential development [must] be set aside as affordable work/live spaces for artists." What is affordable? What kind of artist wants to live & work in a building full of bankers and stockbrokers? Who decides who gets the lofts? Restrictions on hazardous materials, noise, etc.? It's noble-sounding but basically artists are getting priced out of the area, as inevitably happens.
