The housing crisis – built into the system

by by Fred Gaboury Saturday, Jun. 15, 2002 at 10:30 AM

According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), some 5.3 million households have “worst case” rental housing needs, defined as having a family income less than half the median income in their area and paying more than half of it for rent. Most live in severely substandard housing and receive no federal housing assistance.

Downtown Housing

by Jared Saturday, Jun. 15, 2002 at 10:28 PM

Everyone has probably been hearing for some time about the downtown housing boom in loft conversions. What you probably haven't heard is that they don't allow or encourage 3 and 4 bedroom units that would encourage famillies to move to the area. Apparently, the current incentives penalize developers for putting in this kind of housing. SO the loft conversions: they are studio, singles and doubles really aimed at singles or couples and not really condusive for famillies.

Talk about inadequate housing being built in to the system!

Oh and yeah...there are no plans to curenlty change this aspect of the new loft conversions now underway.

The message the city is sending is famillies can just go elsewhere.

This is what you get

by louisa Sunday, Jun. 16, 2002 at 4:43 AM

when you have government control.

Face it -- government control of property inevitably results in inefficient use of the property.

Return power to the people. If its my piece of dirt, I should be allowed to do with it that which I think is best -- not what some bureaucrat thinks is best and not what some politician worried about his next election thinks is best. (Provided, of course, that my use does not interfere with my neighbors right to the use of his/her property.)
