There was an affordable housing subcommittee meeting before our regular planning meeting tonight. It's a HUGE issue as we all know.
I spoke with Nora Shepherd and asked if there was something we could do with it as a class project. It's so big!
She suggested I speak with Kimber, our planner who has done the most work with the code.
The reality is that we need it. The reality is that there is language in the code to BEGIN to ensure that it gets built.
I believe that the people that work in our town, should be allowed to live here and raise their families. . . and, be able to purchase rather than rent.
However, I am at a complete loss as to how to turn this issue into a project.
Like Sara, I want to leave a legacy. But, flavors, I'm at a loss.
Another issue that came up in planning commission meeting is SUSTAINABILITY. Flint Decker explained the "opportunity" to WalMart eloquently. I know greenbuilding has already been done as a project, but . . .maybe theres something there.
To what Carey said, I need to tell you that I love you all. I'm grateful to have you in my life!
Hugs,
Julie

This is such good thinking going on!! I love the social aspect, getting together... it would give us more time to discuss the ideas bouncing around in our heads...
I have some broad topics in mind, a couple have been said already:
education
integration
green environment
