<div>wow -didn't realize the beach ave house needed that much work! do
you happen to know if there are any organizations, like habitat, that
work on renovation, not just new construction? (maybe the folks from
extreme makeover would like to spend a week on our lovely island next
year?!)</div>

color="#000000">Judy and Sandy, Yes on the Beach Ave.
House still being considered 3 family and yes on the condo possibility
although only a madman would flaunt that right now with what is going
on with the Spar. I am in agreement with your thoughts on that
Judy and we all have discussed it. I have been in constant
contact with the owner (and friend) to keep us in the loop when
he can no longer hang on and he knows where we are coming
from and yes we try each meeting to focus on properties that are
available. Most of our members would prefer to but in the open
market or have a stable long term rental. Most are looking at
what we are doing as a safety valve, but an important
one. Most of our members are in the unenviable financial
valley that all folks of modest incomes are in, particularly
those in desirable retirement locations in that the entry
level starter homes are priced out of reach.
What looks reasonable to you and me looks like a Mount Everest to the
folks we are trying to help. At $350K plus $200K of work
needed, the condos aren't going to make it in the low to
mid 100's.</font></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1"
color="#000000"> Sandy - I prefer to be the
Father Rooster than the Father Hen, but whatever, I love to
delegate. There are only so many hours in the day, and while I
get a stipend for some of what I do, and have been offered more to do
more - my time is stretched too thin and I have had to decline
that offer (from Genesis RCDI grant). The folks who have
participated so far (10-12 you see on the list) or so generally
are also pretty busy and our meetings typically have babies at them
and/or one or the other parent babysitting and/or we are
competing with our members having fire meetings, rec meetings, work
issues, etc. All have worked hard to get us where we
are and will do more if possible, but the idea of delegating out
to sub groups and committees more stuff ain't going to fly right now.
We cannot even think of another body at the moment to get on the
YRHASC, let alone to do more (needed such research) which is why
we so appreciate folks like yourself and Judy working all day and
giving time at night to this. There are not a lot of folks
out here and those able and interested are into many things already
plus there are some who do not think what we are doing is all that
great anyways. Headed out to
deal with snow and leaving tomorrow for a looooong weekend.
Thank you both for your continued input - keep it
coming. MGPP <span
