FROM THE MAILBOX---A HOUSING MANIFESTO

The blog has received the usual ANONYMOUS housing manifesto, reminding us all of our affordable housing obligations, levying the standard allegations of racism, nimbyism, ETC. ETC. ETC. (with a  side order of transphobia). You know where it ended up....

It is instead suggested that the writer attend a meeting---or publish that content under his or her own blog (yes, there are two genders here)---or perhaps on one of the many "community" facebook pages. 

For everyone else, a wrap-up of recent "housing" events:
