happening in Durham: dispersing ARPA (federal Covid) money in the most effective and strategic way, making the use of Shot Spotter transparent and useful to the community, passing a budget. He has some worries about accommodating the growth (Apple, etc.)

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span>Housing – Housing is becoming increasingly expensive and providing services to sprawl is expensive; therefore, we need to figure out how to do density in the urban area, as well as
keep things affordable. The Comprehensive Plan could be more helpful. Developers aren’t using the affordable housing money that is available. </span></p>

“Affordability” is a muddled term, and it is further confused by being mixed up with Chapel Hill data to measure what is affordable. People are getting pushed out by people moving here with more money. We need to be building generational wealth. Expanding
Housing Choices has ended up mostly about expanding housing profits. We need to do better at real community engagement. The suburban commercial “character” with all the storage buildings is not the best use of our limited land. Wall Street is buying houses,
preventing people from being homeowners and building generational wealth, because of the profit they see, rather than from any commitment to needs of the community. How do we improve the process / rules to make “make the water less toxic” since we can’t change
the “fish” (which is challenging since we only have a couple years to get it right)? </span></p>
