During a recent government meeting, officials discussed the pressing issue of affordable housing within the community. A key point raised was the need to assess the occupancy rates in various neighborhoods, highlighting concerns that some housing units may be held as investments rather than being utilized for local residents. This situation, if true, could exacerbate the housing crisis and hinder efforts to provide accessible living options for community members. The discussion underscored the importance of ensuring that housing resources are effectively serving the needs of the community rather than being sidelined for speculative purposes.
