Accessible housing issues

[ijmorlan]

I don’t see how anybody could claim that I have “filled [my] posts with invective and personal attacks”. If you could point at one or two specific examples I would find it helpful, although “filled” implies more than just one or two examples written at a heated moment.

You're right, "filled" was hyperbole, and I apologize for that. Statements such as "Also you might want to think more about the actual consequences of what you’re suggesting" are about me, not the subject being discussed. Surfacing consequences can be done without dismissive commentary on what I do or do not think.

OK, thanks, I can appreciate that.

I will say that I didn’t mean the statement you quoted as an attack; I really do think that people often want to do good but don’t think through the actual long-term consequences of a proposal. That being said, I can see how it could come off as aggressive.

It seems likely you'll disagree with me again, and that's okay. I don't think there's anything more that either of us will gain from any additional participation from me, so I'll likely not continue with it. I am grateful for all the information you've shared in this thread, and I have a high amount of respect for your passion and engagement on both affordability and accessibility.

I want to say that I have a very good impression of you as well. I’ll be honest and say I don’t understand your exact position on this specific issue, but it’s clear you are coming from a place of care and concern for others, and I do respect that.
