those who responded off-list. I will continue to post directly on V2020
rather than to a select responders' group and address issues raised. As we
proceed, I hope there will be an increased willingness of others to post
on-list, thus encourage dialogue and community involvement. Input is
critical at this initial phase and should be used to identify relevant problems
and work on developing real solutions to them.</FONT></SPAN></DIV><SPAN

can affordable housing remain as affordable housing while the market changes?
[There are many affordable housing opportunities in Moscow--BUT when an older,
smaller, less expensive house comes up for sale, it is usually snapped up by
someone (probably someone in real estate, but i don't know), and turned into a
rental unit.]</FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
