Opinion: Walking a tightrope between affordable and unsafe housing
Submitted by paula on Thu, 08/08/2019 - 11:51am
Last week, a local motel owner told guests there would be no housekeeping because they didn’t have enough staff due to the local housing shortage.

Just like our roads, some of these older buildings are in a state of disrepair and as we know with our roads, patchwork repairs only last so long.
