Do you think the 7300 Nieman Road area needs more low-income housing units for senior citizens?

Gloria Bessenbacher ( in Shawnee) says...
Overbuilding and overpopulating a neighborhood lessens the quality of life of its residents. If the church wants to build affordable housing for low-income seniors, it should look for land in the outskirts of Johnson or in Wyandotte County.
Ray Erlichman ( in Shawnee) says...
The city needs more affordable housing for senior citizens. Where it should be located will always be problematical.
Michael Sanders ( in Shawnee) says...
No. Historically, when a large concentration of low-income housing is established in an area, the tenants are often disenfranchised of indicators of a quality of life, such as safe neighborhoods and access to an acceptable level of public services.
Satinder Hundal ( in Shawnee) says...
As there are already several complexes around the general vicinity, which do work with the income-based renters, it would be unnecessary to have another housing unit for senior citizens in that area.

Shawnee Seniors deserve access to affordable housing. Why frighten the community with the scary label, “low income housing” when very few units are reserved for “low income residents”?
Stephanie Meyer ( in Shawnee) says...
No. This area is already well-saturated with low income housing, and the city should focus on growing commercial, rather than residential, properties.
Angela Jeppesen ( in Shawnee) says...
Shawnee seniors need housing, but oversaturating one area creates a disservice to renters and homeowners alike. What other area is better suited to meet this need?
