Jeff Brewer, News Director at KOFO, was talking to a neighbor recently and he said that he and his family were ready to move up in the housing market, not a big jump, but a jump up, out of low income housing and into a rental house or apartment. The problem was that there was nothing they deemed affordable. Everything was priced $1,200 to $1,500 a month and that was not in their affordable range.
