This letter is in regards to the Quaker Meadow housing project. It seems to me the only way low-income people could benefit from single family homes is if they could buy them, not rent them.
How could a family of four making $26,000 afford rent that is between $600 and $700 a month? A single person has trouble managing on those wages.
There are already apartments and rental homes that are vacant that are less than $600 and yet someone sees a need for more building of rental units that could also be vacant that cost more? Wouldn’t it make more sense to help these people to own their home and take pride in it, thus keeping the drug problems and crime away?
If a development is in the works, shouldn’t it be homes that could be sold for a fair price, not rented? Give these people some credit for staying afloat in these tough times with low-paying jobs and help them to improve their lives.
People need to start thinking about helping others in this economical crunch and stop trying to profit from it.

We citizens of the United States, and I say “united” loosely, are whistling past the cemetery at midnight afraid of what might be lurking in the cemetery. I don’t know what is wrong with people allowing politicians to destroy our country. - Letters to the editor
