Our Home, Our Future

“The prejudice against people needing affordable housing is crazy. People picture deadbeats. I’ve been a well-established, well respected, professional woman who raised 2 fine children and have worked hard all my life. If you keep young people here they pay taxes, own cars, pay property taxes and contribute to the economy. If they can’t afford to live here they go off to New York State and we lose the revenue and our future. The arguments against affordable housing are absurd in the extreme. We have to keep young people here.”
