Once again we are in the Local Election fever and
yet again affordable housing comes up. If we can get
some long term good paying jobs on the Sunshine
Coast this question will be answered for many. The
following quote was taken from The Huffington Post
Canada by Daniel Tencer “Affordability isn’t just
about prices; homeowners’ incomes are also a factor.“
The coast goes thru cycles created by a boom in the
construction industry every 6 to 7 years. We could
level this out with the creation of sustainable industry
on the coast that provided jobs. So ask your candidate
how they intend to support the creation of sustainable
industry.
Meanwhile the market is changing and there
are some incredible buys out there do not be caught
looking back at lost oppurtunities.
