Sound it Out: what is a Community Land Trust? ( www.kuow.org )

It’s a piece from last year but Homestead CLT needs to be more widely known. My wife and I are born and raised here and didn’t think we would ever be homeowners, but thanks to the program we have have had a house for 4 years now. Our mortgage is cheaper than rent and our property taxes are fixed to the same below market rates the program locks our home value to.

This program should be expanded on and offered to everyone, not just qualifying families. Fuck private property.
