The Consequences

As I also participate in an Advisory Council for the Bellevue Police Department, I see the challenge our officers are facing as they can't afford to live in Bellevue and face long commutes. This has been the case for the majority of the people who keep us safe and healthy in Bellevue.

When I became a homeowner in Bellevue more than 20 years ago, one of the decision factors was the availability of the best public services one could find in the Country. Now, as "affordable housing" in Bellevue becomes a fiction, the quality of our services is decreasing as the people we need the most can't afford to live here.
