Drew on his development background to suggest manufactured homes — $60-65K delivered — as a cheaper path to affordable housing than federal-grant-funded site-built homes.

Speaking for CARE, supported disposing of the six parcels for affordable rentals and suggested eventually opening more of the 120 CRA parcels to rental housing.

Wanted clear guidelines on rent restrictions, ownership limits and clawback enforcement before the county sells to private landlords.

Supported the rental experiment, noted the upcoming state law allowing manufactured homes on residential lots, and flagged that many of the 120 parcels aren't buildable due to wetlands.
