As someone on disability finding affordable housing is one of the most difficult things I face in columbia.

Christopher Watson

I hear you, if the rent raises again I might find myself homeless, it;s pretty dumb now for a 6+ decades old 2/br trailor.

Robert Cone

If one drives virtually anywhere in Columbia you will see numerous people at intersections with signs requesting help. My wife works in mental health and she is inundated with people coming in for assistance. Ask anyone working in the mental health field & they will tell you the same thing.

Max DeYoung

Beggars have existed in human society since the dawn of recorded history. It's not climate change.

Pam Lee

Rent has increased exponentially and wages have not kept up.

Connie Ordway

We need a task force that's going to address affordable housing in Columbia.

Shane H

Rent is out of control. Without local common sense legislation and regulation-- more people will become homeless

Max DeYoung

NYC, is in the process, of doing away with rent control. It destroys cities.

Government is what is making housing expensive. Want less expensive housing? Get Government out of the way.

Max DeYoung

The property owners, are being inundated with tax increases, and higher costs, to maintain the properties, too. The government, is doing nothing to help them.

Toasty

If you want to see what happens when government decides to help the homeless with your tax money, take a look at California. Disguise it with 'affordable housing', and steal billions of tax dollars. Then keep raising taxes to 'help' those who have no desire to help themselves.

Doug Royal

If you want houses to be cheaper, build more houses (make it easier for developers to build houses).

Biden is a dirt bag, and a 50+ year professional criminal, and the leader of a family of criminals. To bad he didn't croak with Carter; could have had a BOGO on good riddance funerals. But since he's all in for democracy and not dividing the country, he did the right thing.

Biden is admitting his family is guilty by issuing the pardons.

Belinda Kitchen

No cause basically he admitted his whole family is guilty! I think Biden had it all planned out and he is dirty! Now Trump will get us all on the right path and drill baby drill !!!!! Like it should have always been!

Max DeYoung

Biden is a criminal. He will wear this failure for the rest of his life.

Max DeYoung

The United States Supreme Court has ruled that accepting a pardon implies an admission of guilt. This decision was made in the 1915 case of Burdick v. United States, 236 U.S. 79 (1915). In this case, the Court stated that acceptance of a pardon implies a confession of guilt and carries an imputation
