Okay, so after reading last week’s paper and the article about how the city of Grand Marais is revisiting the “affordable housing” problem, I am more than disgusted. How long are we going to talk about this issue like it is a new one?
How long are the ideas going to be discussed and then forgotten or dropped? How long are the “officials” going to consider “affordable” at $140 – $200K?
Here we are claiming to be the Coolest Town right? What has developed partly because of that title is a busier place…that’s great if there could be more work force here to deal with the increased amount of tourism. I don’t know about you but I’m beat and until we build affordable housing for the “working bees,” I suggest these nice folks pouring in are going to have a less than perfect experience.
I’ve said this all before and no I don’t expect anything to change…I’m just frustrated because it doesn’t change, it just gets discussed again and again.
