Land Use Planners
Housing Planners

“Fulfilling the other goals of the statewide land use plan [must] not unreasonably impact the supply of modestly priced housing.”
Proposal for a Statewide Housing Goal as an Element in the Statewide Land Use Goals and Guidelines
Betty Niven, State Housing Council Chair, November 26, 1974
“A need exists when there are not enough houses to supply shelter for each household for an amount that does not exceed 25% of gross household income.”
Increasing Specialization
