Housing strategy claim is patently absurd
Councillor Bruce McLachlan's contention that adoption of the Affordable and Alternative Housing Strategy Report will attract low-income residents is so patently absurd that it is hardly worth a mention.
According to the report, there are 24,000 Central Coast households already suffering housing stress, and adoption of the report will benefit such a minuscule number that it cannot have any effect on low-income in-migration to the city.
I am against adoption of the report, but statements such as Cr McLachlan's bring opposition into disrepute and weaken the case against the report.
Perhaps, he could just keep quiet and let natural Council apathy take its course.
