Orlando Florida Weighs Housing Fee To Make Housing Affordable
Common sense would suggest that adding a fee to the cost of housing would make housing less affordable. As a Californian, I don't really expect common sense from our politicians. However, I would have expected better from Florida (Is it the heat?) The Orlando Sentinel reports that the City of Orlando is considering a housing fee for new real estate projects as a way of funding affordable housing programs. Next on the agenda is a food tax to pay for a program to provide food to the poor!
While I do believe in social programs, I can't understand at this point, with the real estate market such as it is, we would add additional costs to the purchase of a home. It makes no sense at all. abe w
