Housing


Possible Issues

Respondents to Nino Walker's survey of our community's values and visions and others have identified the following issues related to housing affordability:

    Housing is not affordable by many of those who work in the region.
    Lack of affordable housing increases commuting and contributes to traffic congestion.
    Hobby farming and ranching is pushing up agricultural lots prices.

Are there other issues?

What do current plans say?

Research is needed to find out what current plans say about these issues. Any volunteers?
