Housing that's Affordable

Affordable Housing

Tiny houses are adorable.  I wish I had the space to have one on my private property.  I can see them as “mother-in-law” homes.

BUT – to make a series of them which would only house about 6 small families on a piece of property that could hold an apartment building (or condo) of at least 30 homes seems to me to be foolish.

Let’s recognize that we MUST build UP.  We have a huge housing shortage – and in particular a huge shortage of housing that people with modest incomes can afford.

Rather than subsidizing housing, how about building enough small (but not tiny) apartments that have full apartments, parking, possibly even an exercise room and a park for kids to play in…. If we build UP we can have all of that at reasonable prices.

NIMBYs are partially responsible for the increase in homelessness and the increase in traffic congestion.  They vote against any project that would be large enough to allow for different sized apartments at different prices – with all the extras.

Let’s get practical.  Let’s increase housing.  We need it desperately.
