You it is frustrating to see the first comments on this be "individuals wanting free stuff".
I don't want free, I want fare consideration. I want a roof over my head worth the dollars I am paying. I don't want to be someone's CASH COW! I don't want to move to a smaller and shabbier place every few years because someone just wants a profit at my expense. I have worked hard my whole life. I am reaching a point where society dictates I am now to live on a fixed income. I found what I thought would be affordable housing to live in through this phase. I did everything I was suppose to do through savings and budgeting. But it wasn't enough. In four years the cost of my housing has gone up so fast - and the projected raises are even more - it has eaten about 10 years out of what I thought I'd would need. That means instead of staying where I am for the rest of my life I will need to continue to search for affordable house well into my 80's and beyond. The last statics I saw showed 30% of Thurston County are retired or on some sort of fixed incomes. I hope that article was wrong. We don't want fee stuff. We want to live off what we have earned and saved. We don't want to homeless in the process. We are not garbage and don't want to be thrown away. Please consider affordable hosing on a broadscale and stop trying to cyphen away every last penny we have.
