Personal Property rights under attack in Chatham!

Unaffordable Housing

Chatham County BOC is in the process of converting the affordable housing task force to full advisory board status. If results from other municipalities are any indication the policies that come from the board will result in higher home prices and be one more means of government controlling private property. We need to be aware of the FACTS and address them before anything becomes law.

Dr. Michael Sanera has written a well studied piece on the subject. Please click here to read the executive summary or the entire report.

The County Commissioners are considering making housing even more unaffordable. See press release and indepth comments below about impact fees.
