Importance of Housing Diversity
Do you think that housing diversity (including affordability, size, & type of housing) is important in maintaining or improving your community? Why? Or why not?

Yes, diversity enriches any community.

I think there's a lot of subjectivity in the question. What does it mean to "improve" a community? I'd expect a lot of different answers. I don't have a definitive answer to this question. Our current zoning allows and restricts the types of housing that can be built in Cape Elizabeth. No matter the zoning, a developer/builder will need to make money, and there will be demand for the structure.

Yes, because in diversity there is greater opportunity to learn from others whose life circumstances may be different from ours and add value to our sense of community.
