[i]The Housing Expansion and Affordability Act ... [/quote]

So the housing secretary is touting the 8100 new units approved quickly in Salisbury MD.  That is over the bridge, almost 90 miles from Annapolis and near Ocean City-Delmarva beaches.  What were the permits for?  Building new apartments etc on unoccupied land?  A MD drain to PA and DE for more favorable taxes?

Sounds like a missing middle for Moco, PG.

I can speak to the new units in Salisbury, Md. Sadly these are very, very low quality new builds.  One of my employees bought one. Had a leak after 8 months of ownership. Builder would not troubleshoot. HVAC guy said it was plumbing. Plumber said it was HVAC.  Between the HVAC guy and the plumber there were now 15 holes in the drywall to troubleshoot the leak.

My employee was crying at work. She thought she had done right buying "new."  My licensed general contractor was doing some work on site. I sent him over to troubleshoot.  He reviewed the prior 15 drywall troubleshooting holes and had to have two more holes made in drywall to troubleshoot. He was at her house for about 4 hours. He concluded HVAC not installed correctly. Ultimately the builder made things right.

My contractor said the new Salisbury developments are very, very low quality. He said he was very surprised the house even passed inspection for occupancy it was that low in quality.

My employee is a CNA and earns CNA pay.  Her Mom is a chicken factory worker.  They qualified for the house on this income.
These developments are built on cheap farm land.  The exterior of the houses are nice but they are extremely shoddy construction and the builders are taking advantage of uneducated low income people.
