If the 34 acres are mostly swampy lowland, as Tim Orwig writes, what about
wetlands and other ecological/environmental factors and provisions?

Seems to me it would be bad all around to build housing for anyone, and
smacking of discrimination to build housing for low-income people, on
unsuitable ground, and lose the ecological value of the wetlands in the
process -- to say nothing of the value of the property as a historic whole,
which also just happens to offer increasingly precious open space.
