Doing these things are never easy is absolutely correct, however I am questioning how apartments ranging from $800-$1300 is going to solve our housing crisis. This was clearly stated by a 19 year old during this meeting. A senior that has lived in the same apartment for 18 years, had his apartment building sold twice in the last three years. The newest purchaser did a walk through and called him the next day told him that May 1….6 weeks from the walk through, his rent will be going from $660 to $1600 per month. How can an Iidividual on a fixed income not end up homeless with these conditions. This community needs desperately affordable housing. I spent an entire day calling every number I could get and there was a 1 to 3 year waiting list for any income based housing. Please reconsider, or at the very least consider the needs of the community.
