JANUARY 2018 | SARASOTA SCENE 101
on the town
And this town does that in bushels?
It does to a certain extent. But if you ask
people how they feel about affordable
housing, they assume that affordable
housing means poor, lazy people who
more likely than not are persons of color.
That’s a negative mindset that needs
to be addressed. It’s not about that. It’s
about working families. It’s about single
college students. It’s about people having
the right to live in nice clean place and
not be reduced to a certain part of town,
wherever that is, in order to have access
to the same services. It doesn’t mean that
were not going to all have to live out on
Lido. I’m not saying that. There should be
a variation in between.
