Letter: Affordable — and better

Editor, Daily News:

Forget affordable housing.

Naples is full of condos under $300,000. These are fine for families starting out, or young professionals.

What is needed is reasonable financing.

Naples and our local employers need to work together with our local banks for low mortgage rates with no closing costs. This will start to sell some of the properties on the market already reasonably priced while keeping monthly costs under control for the purchasers.

Also, by not charging closing costs, that money could go toward a down payment.

This is a truly wonderful city. Let's not dilute it with a flood of low-income housing.

Let's help our residents take advantage of the wonderful opportunities available to them right now.
