You're not the only one. It's funny I've actually noticed as more people get priced out of downtown, I see more and more people walking around and riding their bikes (i.e. using the sidewalks) in Mt. P.
I'm sure this has a lot to do with the growing sentiment with most people prefering a more walkable lifestyle, but I can't help but think it's also people who moved from downtown to Mt. P that still want to walk and ride bikes around town.
I think you'll see that anywhere it's made to be appealing. Nearly everyone I talk to wants "walkability" these days and it's just not commonplace outside of downtown. The municipalities are starting to listen and we're seeing sidewalks go in in many places where they're able to put them in but there's still not a whole lot that fits the walkable description.
As to the earlier "discussion" about the racial factor in the affordable housing attempt... To me, affordable housing is all about incomes and providing housing for an economically diverse population. In this country, income inequality is not separate from race so while affordable housing may not be directly related to minority issues, it certainly is indirectly.
Now with that being said, it's arguable that affordable housing (and the other entitlement programs) is not the best way to help bring about economic equality among the races but better minds than mine have been unable to solve that one so far and I'm not going to try.
If Mt Pleasant's goal is to provide housing for the city workers, I'd think they would do better to just pay them more so they could afford to live closer in. With the affordable housing initiative our taxes subsidize the labor force overall which benefits private businesses.
You'd feel pretty ostracized being a block from the beach. You'd have the same insurance cost but none of the view. That ain't living.
Yea, being a block from the beach sounds like a huge hassle. Plus living in 'moderately wealthy' housing, I'm sure the obscenely wealthy neighbors all look down their nose at you. Who needs that noise.

Right. And to add insult to injury, the lowlifes that don't qualify for moderately wealthy housing will park on the street in front of your house so they can walk to the beach. Who needs that drama?
Like minds Ziggy.
That's ok, I'll be going to Daniel Island Beach from now on. I saw it on HGTV's Island Life, it looks great. The secrets out Daniel Island, no keeping us non-islands off your beach.

It is an island, and islands do have beaches. Just grab a beach chair and a mojito, and kick back and watch the sunset over the paper mill.
Or watch the sunrise over the container ports. I'm torn as to what would be more relaxing.

"The median price for a home in Mt. Pleasant is more than $370,000, and it’s less than half that in Summerville."
Meanwhile Summerville is forming a task force to help with the town's proximity to the beach and Charleston harbor. The task force has nine months to come up with a recommendation to improve global warming so that Summerville can be within 10 minutes to Atlantic Ocean beachfront.

Hey, I drive 40 minutes to be one of those low lifes!
Actually, I guess I'm a lower-than low life!
