This is a great example of how the private sector will help with the lack of affordable housing on our island. Government funded housing is not the answer. I can tell you any place I have visited and driven through government housing are slums and drug infested projects. The outcome will be no different here. It will probably be worse because we won’t have the police force needed to cover all of the issues this type of housing will bring. How will the town do things any different from any other government run project? Let the businesses who need workers step up to the plate and help solve the issue with their own money. Just like any other expensive city, the employer pays extra to their employees, since the cost of living is much higher for living in that area. I believe the employers on our island are going to have to do the same thing here to be attractive. There are many old, unused buildings on our island that could be reconfigured for housing. People need to start thinking outside of the box and coming up with real solutions. When the government steps in and says, they are here to help, that is never the case. Many of our local businesses have already stepped up to the plate and put their money on the line to help solve the problem. Work with more of our local businesses to help them solve the problem, not use our tax dollars to create housing slums. Another issue that is related to our companies having trouble getting workers is the issue of the bridge. A sense of urgency needs to be placed on alternative methods to get people on and off of the island efficiently. Think outside of the box, use a park and ride type system throughout Beaufort County use the waterways solutions can be made.
