On one hand I think in some areas its a problem. But, I remember after I got my first house someone told me that there was nothing under a certain price range. And someone should do something about it. Since I just bought a house for less than there price range I started to look up places. When I showed them a list of houses under there price range I started to see the issue. "That house is too old". "That house is too small". "That house isn't close to where I shop". "I really require a double vanity in the bathroom". I never know what to think about affordable housing. On one hand I think in some areas its a problem.

Things are a lot more expensive today than when we started. Our first new car was $7,400 special order Nova from Detroit. And to think I traded in my '67 Chevelle for it. Our first home was $20,000. Cell phones were non existent. Cable TV wasn't available yet in our area. Our TV was less than 20" and under $300. With all the bling of today to include $500 video games sets that all the young people have to have, its a wonder many of them can afford rent, let alone a home. Dave – Good points.
