Serious plan needed to repurpose homes | Letter to the editor

Posted

In his April 21 letter, Kellan Lynch offers hope but does not detail a plan to “repurpose empty houses” to address critical needs for affordable housing.

Lynch writes that “there are too many good reasons that can motivate these extra homes to be rented or sold locally.” 

Homes are not “motivated.” Property owners must be motivated (or coerced) into taking such actions. A serious, politically viable plan is needed.
