Paul, you want us to believe that there are a "great many people working very hard to" bring affordable housing to Lynnhurst? And in the same post, you say there has only been ONE opportunity in the past TEN years?! Precisely how hard are the "many people" working? Who are they working with? If Lynnhurst WANTS affordable housing, there are many, many organizations that will jump high to help. I have a hunch that we have different definitions of the phrase "affordable housing." I know many "fortress neighborhoods" that WANT affordable housing -- as long as it can be afforded by nurses, police and fire. Not by the cashier at Wendys, the under employed or the government subsidized. What part of the affordable housing market is Lynnhurst working hard to obtain? 80% of MMI? 50% of MMI? 30% of MMI? Lower? How about opening up a homeless shelter? There are many empty churches in Lynnhurst (at night). How about a home for the mentally ill? Regards, Bill Cullen. Whittier Landlord. REMINDERS: 1.
