>private sector's responsibility to house people, how b you look at hotels

I think burlington should put a morritorium on hotel development until the housing crisis is cleared up. Plenty of my neighbors agree with me.

There are 3 or 4 giant hotels under construction. Only one or two appt buildings.

There have also been plenty of proposals to encourage hotels to become low income housing.

For houses with large lots the city is working to encourage the construction of accessory units.

I think that a moratorium such as that would fit with the rhetoric we get from city council, but I don't think it will happen. It's crazy to me how little vertical development is allowed, and at this point I think that it's a hard sell for investors.
