Post blogger Michael Conniff believes Aspen pols and City staff have learned next to nothing from the affordable housing fiasco. “The major finding from the Town Hall,” he blogs, “was the overwhelming consensus that the City is crazy to act as its own developer, and is likely to screw things up again if it doesn’t find someone who knows what they’re doing. The intrinsic, festering problems in affordable housing have nothing to do with issuing a bond, and everything to do with politicians and bureaucrats so set in their ways they can’t change in the face of the obvious. They think the workers of the world are in chains, that the only way to set them free is to keep them in bondage.”
