Via Mary's Facebook:
"This whole "Housing Element" shake down that the state of California is mandating to cities, makes me sick. OK, show of hands...who can afford an "affordable home" that is listed at "market value"? Even if it's HALF of the average current market value here in Encinitas, you'd still be paying approx. $400k, and property tax of $4k yearly-forever. Gov. Jerry Brown got rid of Redevelopment, now it's time to get rid of this nonsense."
Editor: And I'd echo one of Mary's friends who says in response to another's comment that there is no beauty in density, "There's no beauty in an exclusionary community either." This is clearly a complex issue.
