In a recent article in The Tribune regarding the proposed $20,000 that would go to help someone purchase their first home, it went on to say that even with that amount, prices keep those seeking their first home from taking advantage of that fund.
It seems all the home building going on is for large, double story homes that are way beyond the ability or even the need of even the middle class to purchase.
Why can’t the developers plan a community of smaller, single story homes, like those found in Rose Park, Glendale Park, south of 33rd South around 20th-30th East, the area north of Fashion Place Mall. These smaller homes are “starter homes” that could be affordable to those who are looking for what is truly a starter home.
