Nice to see some that there is some perogative being given to affordable housing ... here on North East Avalon, it still seems as if the over-priced McMansion is the dwelling of choice ... and all to house 2 people and a maybe a pet. With the aging demographics being what they and energy prices going thru the roof, I'd say smaller, more reasonably priced homes will be the next housing trend ... the developer who realizes this and acts on it will make a lot of money in the years ahead ...
