The RINOs here in ND are crying like Democrats for affordable housing, etc., yet they defeat most attempts by industry and private developers to expand housing in a rational manner. Town and County fathers howl like banshees when a “man cammp” or long term hotel type housing is proposed. I am getting fed up with the bunch of leftists running this state.
It’s like dangling one hundred dollar bills in the trailer park that another bill used to talk about. Money, and youse guys have plenty of it, can turn government into thinking it has the magic solution to everything. I’m sure it already has spent gazillions on infrastructure from electrical power to housing to roads and still twenty five thousand jobs unfilled. ND is a tough place when you don’t have a place to live at reasonable cost and with winter right around the corner.
In my state it is tourism and agriculture that vie for number one, in ND it is a blessing and maybe a curse, to have Agriculture and Energy in competition for the number one industry.
I was part of a convoy that drove, hauled or towed campers, RV’s and truly mobile homes up there. We only wanted to make a $1000 profit per unit while selling these things but it was almost an auction. I profited more than I ever dreamed of because the customers DEMANDED I take what they offered.
That is what I have heard also.
There is a game being played, and it has little to do with the housing issues.
