The chances of getting an apartment in Dickinson are slim-to-none, and that’s if people coming into the area can afford the rent, officials said Tuesday.It doesn't help that Dickinson has banned all temporary housing. Williston has now banned all new man-camps, also.
“Rents are sky high,” said Michael Carbone, North Dakota Coalition for Homeless People Inc. “Minot, Williston, Bismarck and Dickinson represent communities where no one can rent regardless of their circumstance.”
I was not aware that there were no rentals available in Minot or Bismarck.
I see little evidence that any government agency at any level is "managing" anything other than their own "rice bowl".
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me what happens when, while driving a race car, the driver pushes the accelerator to the floor (ndic) and at the same time puts on the brakes as hard as possible (local governments). It looks and sounds spectacular at first and then the engine blows.
I don't think it is as bad as you suggest, but I can't argue with you. I used to give local government the benefit of the doubt, but they are in over their heads.
DeleteI still have no evidence that NDIC is not executing their mission (see their webpage).
Chaos is self organizing.
