To hear the City’s Economic Development Director and the Mayor speak, we don’t need any more affordable housing, in fact, we need to send it outside of the city. Is that your vision for Madison? Join us tonight!
Do we really have too much affordable housing? Are we really needing to “diversify” our housing by adding more high end housing to the city so we can increase the tax base? Is that the direction you think the city should be headed?

Location: Downtown Public Library, 201 W Mifflin StWe’ve been talking about it for years . . . we’ve taken some steps forward and more lately, a few giant leaps backwards (property tax exemption and the death of inclusionary zoning). We have committees and task forces and workgroups and lots and lots of talking, but not much action. In fact, we don’t even have a plan! The government doesn’t have a plan. There is no plan as the economy crumbles, stimulus money gets gobbled up and nothing changes.
That’s where you come in! We’re creating a people’s vision for affordable housing! That’s right, no expertise needed! Just you, your brain and some common sense! What should the City of Madison look like? What is your vision for housing? What does this community need?
Please come and share your thoughts and opinions!!
