What is so magical about low income housing (affordable housing). Why must we welcome the poor and down trodden to here in this high mountain village? We have no welfare office. Or is that the next thing we must have?
Instead of concentrating on bringing more people here, what about trying to improve this place we call home. Why not plan a nice community center, library, perhaps even a theater for many people to enjoy.
Lets improve what we have and not try to bring trouble and problems moving in. Let them stay wherever they are and make this a better place for the residents who live here and pay their own way.

This sounds a little bit of an elitist letter. It also sounds like a person who doesn't know what we already have. First of all we already have one low income housing with some rather good people in them, not to say that there are bad eggs in them, just like the rest of the population base has. Next I would not say we are even close to a village anymore and already have many low income people in the town. Then you say that we need a nice community center, library, and theater. Well two out of those three we already have. The library is next to City Slickers and the theater is down town, and if you mean a theater that does plays, there is a groups that does that. The TCT does plays regularly in various locations. Sorry but this is not the same small town I grow up in anymore. We now have to deal with theproblems of bigger towns and cities.
