“We’re having to plan communities that provide more affordable housing options for [retiring baby boomers] so that they’re closer to services and less dependent on having to drive for every errand and every service.”

-William Anderson, former planning director for the City of San Diego

“… we must link affordable housing with quality education, public transportation, good jobs and safe streets. It is the next generation of neighborhood revitalization that not only transforms distressed housing, but heals entire communities.” — Secretary Shaun Donovan, U.S. Housing and Urban Development
