What does that mean to us as property owners?

As we lose our existing workers to natural attrition rates due to higher costs of living, we are finding it harder to draw qualified candidates in to fill these positions. So ultimately, we will suffer. We need to encourage our legislators to resolve this issue more quickly before it gets to the breaking point. In my opinion, Tract K is not a significant enough piece of land to warrant affordable housing. However, there are areas of island that may better suit the need and could be rezoned to accomodate a higher density of housing to relieve that potential crisis that we are facing. It's up to us to support the development of afforable housing. We will only hurt ourselves if we don't.
