HOUSING: Sharing a fact-of-life lesson

Reading the Coeur d’Alene Press article “Rising rents squeeze Idaho families” took me back in time.

MY TURN: Homeless solutions sought

Kudos to Lynn Fleming for outlining the huge money pit that Ignite has dug for taxpayers. Now, here is the rest of the story: Unless we want to see Spokane and Coeur d’Alene turn into Los Angeles and San Francisco, we need to find a way to address homelessness. Idaho state, county, cities and nonprofits need to figure out how to house workers, students and retirees at a reasonable price. Placing affordable housing down by the Spokane River is ridiculous. Surely cheaper land could be used. Attracting better paying jobs does nothing for retirees. Maybe the state could open its big savings account to help lower income citizens rather than giving tax breaks to the upper 2%.
