The Takeaway
It’s becoming increasingly difficult for people to find good quality housing that they can afford—not just low-wage hourly workers, but skilled workers with incomes closer to the local median.
If the Upstate wants to remain competitive and continue to become more desirable for all people to live, we must do more to help our neighbors who cannot afford quality housing.
