Highlights from council members' comments:

Excellent presentation!
It’s really well thought out and well researched.
It was very impressive and a lot of the themes that we have talked about in the last few years. So, thank you for focusing on this.
Research like this is really critical. Having this conversation - we need all types of housing.
I love your ideas of using empty shipping containers.
You see pride in every one of our faces including our city manager, that young people are really concerned about this issue.
