I suppose they have more of an *entrepreneurial spirit* than your average Section 8 mom. Maybe we could establish halfway houses for clerical workers who can't quite make it into management or restaurant workers who aren't motivated to go to business school (some of my best friends would be candidates for those). Does anyone know of a city that has done a good job of dealing with affordable housing issues? It's easy to point to cities that are worse (San Francisco, for example). Are there any positive role models we can look to and learn from?
