Great. I think it is important to consider the reality that things can happen if enough pressure is put on staff to make things happen. Councilors are obviously in a unique possision to make things happen. Anytime you ask staff to change the ways they have always done it, you should expect resistance. An initial "it can't be done" often just means we need to push harder.

I hope you're willing to post or comment what you find out, as I know others are also interest in this.

Something I'm not highly informed on, but would be curious to find out: Much of the assistance provided by the city has restrictions for unit improvements such as funding taht can only be used for getting the unit up to code. If we're placing requirements on neighborhoods, would there be a way to adjust language to include the requirements into the framework for the existing funding opportunities.

Thank you for the comments and suggestions. I agree them, and want you to know that I plan to take them to Community Development Director Kinney and City Manager Rohloff to discuss their feasibility and implementation.
