  1. A large group tried to establish some well built affordable housing after receiving some land. The local regulations and costs put the total cost of the property well outside any “affordable” means of any kind. They clearly do not want affordable housing in their area.

    1. Hamilton County’s sprawling nature means they have to keep their property valuations inflated in order to get enough property tax revenue to sustain their infrastructure. A lack of any public transit + unaffordable housing means that they just aren’t going to get the labor that they need.

    2. You are making a pretty bold statement – I’m not saying I disagree with you – but you need to lay out some facts with that kind of statement

  2. Not sure why a study was needed to reach this conclusion unless it was to derive some specific metrics. I live “next door” in Madison County, having moved back to IN from suburban DC about 15 years ago. About ten minutes looking at land near Geist (I wanted waterfront), I knew I could get land and build the house where I am now for about the same amount as just the dirt in Hamilton Co. Still happy where I am and will retire here later this year.
