Dear Editor: Affordability: What does this word mean to you?
A young person getting started, finding a decent job, a place to live, a community that fits? Families with more complex concerns for affordability of housing, health care, child care, education, reliable transportation to a fulfilling family supporting job, three squares a day and ability to support growing children? A retired person surviving on a fixed income?
Sometimes it seems even happiness is financialized these days…
