Affordable Housing

Here is a link to an Affordable Housing site. This link takes you to the Overview of Project Search page. On the left side, you can click on different types of project categories. Not surprisingly there is no mention of Lee County, Florida. The site is called Design Matters: Best Practices in Affordable Housing. It is obvious that there is something wrong with our policies that we can not get the developers to produce quality affordable housing. As Steve McQueen said in the original "Thomas Crown Affair", when asked you he would try to rob a bank with all his wealth, he said,"It's the system." When the staff says, "oh well... that's the way it is!" when discussing the codes and how they add such a burden to projects that there is no affordable left when the system is through with a project. It is lovely to deal that staff, "I don't care attitude."
