If you can’t afford a place to live, maybe you need to get a job, or get a better job. Maybe you need to stop spending money on non-essential items. Maybe you need to relocate to a place where rent is cheaper.

Sure, there are situations where people need a hand. Domestic abuse, elderly, health issues, etc … but we already have some resources available. It’s not the government’s job to take care of you when you’ve shown no past interest in taking care of yourself.

We really don’t need more apartment buildings, for students or otherwise. If we build them, they will fill, partly with new residents, and then others will migrate to town to live in the parks and join those who already choose to live there. Until we stand up to that. All candidates for city office need to be ready to stand up to that.
