Public commenters urge cheaper alternatives; home‑sharing program reports listings

In public comment, Dallas (identified in the meeting as a Port Angeles resident and real estate appraiser) urged the committee to evaluate whether county construction dollars produce the most units per dollar and suggested acquisition or other lower‑cost approaches could yield more housing. Dallas provided example calculations comparing a reported $9.3 million project cost for 24 units (roughly $285,000 per unit in his example) with lower‑cost development approaches and asked the committee to clarify its goals: most units, lowest cost per unit, or highest subsidy impact.
