CINCINNATI (FOX19) - Cincinnati City Council voted 5-4 to advance a massive new development in Over-The-Rhine Wednesday.
The $77 million project moves forward without guaranteed affordable housing over the strong objections of some community members as well as the minority voting block.
The issue divided council along strange lines, with Republicans backing more money for the streetcar and Democrats voting against it.
