I completely agree that putting a shelter or low-income housing along the lake is a terrible idea, especially with the designation of our new Scenic Byway that the city has worked so hard to achieve. On the other hand homelessness is a serious issue in this area that needs to be addressed. I applaud the city's 10 year plan because something has to be done. What this area really needs though is more workforce housing. That is affordable housing for working families that happen to make slightly less than the median income. And this workforce housing does not mean its going to troubled families that are abusing the system, but hard working police, teachers, and others that really don't make a lot of money and aren't able to afford a $250,000 house in Wilmington. These people provide many benefits to our city and they shouldn't have to commute from out of the county to live in town. Also people need to realize that the days of providing low-income housing that is grouped all together is extremely outdated. We need mixed income housing that seamlessly blends in with surrounding areas, due to adequate design and proper planning.
