Low income housing


Housing, yes we need low income housing. We do not need another authority created (HRA) to do what we know needs to be done: open our thought process, revise zoning, decide as a community that this is so important that we need to do this. Then, use what we have, what we know, and who we already have on the payroll to do the job.

Are you content to sit by and see another costly attempt supported by commissioners (now and future) to shift the responsibility to someone else to start again? If we don’t interrupt this circle that seems to be going nowhere, we will get nowhere.

You want housing, really? Open your approach and think/do outside the box. We’ve got the facts, when will we use them?
