Larry Mulligan on Section 8 Housing and City Infrastructure
Wednesday, October 31, 2007 9:52:52 AM - Middletown Ohio
by Bill Rogers

"It's important that we support those in need and supply housing and provide adequate housing at all income levels." Larry Mulligan believes that we need to establish a balance in terms of our economic base in Middletown.

Mulligan goes on the talk on the further of Middletown's infrastructure. He states that matching funds are not available for residential streets, and that it is a struggle to find money to address our thoroughfares. "It takes over $100,000 to pave one lane mile, and we have many many lane miles in Middletown."

It will be hard to strike a balance in Middletown when it comes to housing. Middletown has an over abundance of low income housing, an over abundance of old Steel Mill Housing which will never appeal to Middle and Upper Middle income homeowners. When these houses go on the market they are bought by low income families or investors who turn around and rent them to more low income families. When you are constantly doing this it puts a strain on the infrastructure of the City and its Services. If you can not even this out than this city is doomed. You already have 58% SECTION 8 HOUSING, that needs to be cut down to less than 20-25% at the most.

The City must develope some type of program/plan to take these old Steel Mill houses and turn whole neighborhoods into Middle Income housing. Sorry but the truth hurts. Middletown has become the Sanctuary City of the poor for Butler County. It is time to reverse that scenario.
