Why is it always about housing for the homeless?  Yes, we do need a safe place for homeless to stay off the street, I have always advocated that.  But, how about reasonably affordable smaller houses for a single senior person, a retired person, a young person just starting out.  I am a single senior women, and I can't afford anything.  My rent is so high, I have to continue working forever.  I would like to propose that we use some land to build smaller 1 story homes or condo's for all the folks that are in between affording a home and homeless.  I would do it myself if I knew how.
