This isn't exactly right. The reason the houses would be cheaper in Lyndale is because if they are moved there by the Lyndale Neighborhood Development Corp., they would likely be part of the new land trust that Cara Letofsky is working for. Because the land trust owns the land and limits the appreciation a homeowner can receive upon sale, the houses would be cheaper. If the houses wind up in Kingfield, they will be moved by Project for Pride in Living, and not part of a land trust arrangement. Because of that, they could well be more expensive. I'll give members a more complete update of what's happening after tomorrow's board meeting, but from my point of view, LNDC and PPL are both working incredibly hard to bring good, workable proposals to the fore. I don't want our board to pick until it has to, because there are so many details to be worked out - it would be a pleasant problem to have two workable plans on such short notice. Other than that, I thank Tim for his kind remarks. Presenting in front of the planning commission was an interesting experience - members were very sharp, I thought, and Judith Martin is one disciplinarian of a chairperson (do NOT dally in your responses)...she (and Tim as a reporter) keep you on your toes.
