[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The crux of affordable high density house is people fear it will change neighborhood.

Many years ago in early 1990s my brothers rich posh town already had home prices shooting up and older people sitting in large empty homes. Young people could not afford to buy and older people would not free up house as wanted to stay in neighborhood but no where to go.

The plan was to convert a gorgeous large old unused school in town in a great location to below market 65 plus housing. First choice was existing residents of town.

Sounds great. Well lawsuits started citing Racism as older residents mainly white, then affordable housing lawsuits as existing residents were mainly well off. Lawsuits were town basically used public funds and property.

Well after it was filled they were forced all new residents from outside town, low income, etc. That was last project approved.

Why the plan solves nothing and creates more problems.

The theory the widows and empty Nestor [/quote]

Missing middle is not affordable (aka low income) housing. These are separate issues. Missing middle is more affordable than a single family home but not within the price range for a household with income below 100k, according to the report. [/quote]
