Sometime back a presentation was made to the Renton AARP group regarding “affordable mixed-use housing in the Renton Highlands.” This presentation also included medical facilities on the ground floor.

The excitement was there in the audience due to the fact that we young seniors are facing downsizing, and living on a fairly fixed income we are in need of “affordable” in our lives.

So the question is to the Renton City Council, if good people are willing to step up, the money is there, and the land is available to build on: How can the city help toward this goal? Can a partnership be developed to build such that everyone benefits in a fair way?  Inquiring minds want to know.

I, for one, would love to retire completely in my hometown of Renton that holds a lifetime of memories and precious friends.  Where is the “CLOG” in the flow of constructive action?
