[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will have to read up on this, as I work for a nonprofit that already does receive county funds to help house low income residents.

I don’t know that there is much that can be done to fix the outside pressures that are just making life in general unaffordable these days.

Our residents definitely need help, and charity only goes so far.[/quote]

Remember that various types of handouts of “free” money is one of the things that got us where we are today in terms of affordability. That is one of the reasons the effective minimum wage is $15 around here and one of the factors of housing becoming more expensive.

We do need more housing but we are running out of space to build. The fact is, not everyone is going to be able to afford to live here. Some people will need to double up in smaller apartments or move further out. Kinda sucks but it is what it is.

Seeing that I’m stuck in Fairfax County for a least the next few years, I need to find out who is supporting this nonsense and vote against them.[/quote]
