• “Letter on Homegrown Housing By Leslie Gillett... If some land could be spot zoned for affordable housing... The group would be comprised only of people who want to live on the land as lease-holders... No outside agency would operate the co-op, the members would be responsible for their own individual and collective affairs.” — The Islands Grapevine – October 8th, 2020 (October 8th, 2020)
