Time to loosen zoning restrictions and say no to NIMBYs Ms. Mayor. *

Despite earning around $90,000 a year between her work as mayor, regional councillor and with the local electric utility, she says she can’t afford to buy a home in the municipality she leads.

* yeah, she’s still paying off student loans, and I don’t know what zoning restrictions are like in her community. But still.

Salonen supports last month’s announcement to build 10,000 affordable and attainable homes in the region by 2030.

That’s a project from Habitat for Humanity.

Vocalizing support for someone else’s project is a far cry from starting your own projects.

Maybe she is doing something, I don’t know, but the example you gave isn’t a good one.

Pretty much every city in the country needs like ten times that much before things’ll start getting better.

All these proposals are like trying to fight a forest fire with a squirt gun.
