Decatur Welcomes Neighbors
“Let’s move to a point where we can say 'I support affordable housing and,' instead of 'I support affordable housing, but….' We need to put affordable housing where our land and our development patterns inform it. Scoot over and make room on the bench, because that’s what we need to do.”
Decatur City Commissioner Kelly Walsh
