Housing
August 17th, 2009
Context Statement: An adequate mix of safe and affordable housing benefits all individuals, families and the community-at-large. How and where our housing is built and organized in relation to employment, public amenities, transportation, and community services shape how we experience our region. Housing density and affordability also determine how far we must travel to meet our everyday needs.
