On the recordJune 27, 2002
Affordable housing is a critical issue, not just at Fort Ord but around the country. Where valuable assets are being given outright to communities as they are under base closure circumstances, those assets ought to be used in a manner that best benefits that community and are not simply sold to the highest bidder. These are never easy issues because it means discord between Federal and local governments, but I commend the gentleman for confronting this difficult matter. I too am confident that it will be resolved in such a way that more affordable homes will soon be made available at Fort Ord.
