Unaffordable housing

Can Traverse city build any more unaffordable housing? As I drove my son to school I could not help but notice two condo projects on going with a couple proposed. With these condos starting in the 200,000 range and the homeless problem growing, Traverse City is defining Oxymoron. The average Joe, and I consider myself the average Joe, can not afford to even glance at these condos let alone buy one. Our household income is considered middle income and we still can't even think about it. This is a beautiful town that has much too offer if you are rich. If you can afford the house you can not afford the taxes. It is a shame. The average family has to live miles from town which now increase wear and tear on their vehicles, increase gas consumption, longer drives to employment, and many other small in town convinences that lead to big spending. Being a small town transportation options are still limited and costly. So living in "Gods Country" comes with a large price tag.
