I was impressed to even read that something like reasonable housing here in our beautiful city is
being considered,
As we all know, purchasing here is nearly out of the reach of most of us. How in the world does one
buy a $1 M dollar home, but earn $11 an hour, even with a degree!?
Supply and demand. Really, it's become an area where only the older, wealthy population can
afford. Or, Poly parents. So dumb. They are forcing out residents. Buying homes, charging a
fortune for their kid and friends for four (or more likely five) years, then selling it for triple. It's gross. '
We, as residents, should not have to work three and four jobs just to afford to RENT a home, never
mind consider buying one!
As a single parent, who barely got her kids out alive, and who, by the way, are doing great. This
would be an awesome venture and one that should be pursued. I may not stay here, as like many
before me, we can't afford to! - but would love to see this project come about.
Sadly, I can't make it to the meeting. Why? I have to work my second job to afford to rent a tiny
place here. And I have a pretty darn good full time job. But alone, it's not enough to survive here.
I am a great public speaker too, so would love to have my voice heard. Please have another one!
