    the people who work in an area need to be able to afford living in that area.

    I read an article in my local paper that 95% of the workers in my town don’t live in town. And while there are new apartment buildings going up, paying $2000/mo for 300 sq ft without a washer/dryer or even an oven is not going to be attracting much of that 95% back.

      Unless we get serious about building, that’s all that’s going to be available. Developers love the idea of cubicle sized housing.
