There’s plenty of room to discuss, debate and argue about where Galveston might develop workforce housing and which organizations should head those efforts.

There’s a lot less room for rational disagreement about whether the city, as in the whole community, should act to correct a worsening shortage of housing affordable to people who work in Galveston.
