The first side of the ‘*coin” is sodety as a whole; while on the reverse side is the rights or needs of indhridnals or a vest ed interest group. . • It should be enough to stafe that the federal government has decided that building more ^/apartment unlU in B e i ^ g to o be unsound environmentally. But, that is not enough forsomel The Milage’s original plans were for 300 units of low income bousing (besides the older Moxey Rigby houses' and the two senior citizen projects). One hundred units have been built a t Liberty Pari,- in a suburban, well-planned community^ We are a village of 40,000 plus people and, we believe, the vR* lage fathers have considered the needs of the entire population. in Freeport, we have ~fowh>come^fainily7housiog-io4wo-co] be the model oi suburijia m ^ e future. We have m e t'all issues head-on: housing, re creation, education; our local government ^ d school trustees have firmly found answers and.innovative methods o f relieving stresses of modem society. Ifwe could be guaranteed that by building, y somewhere in the village (though not at ah - environmentally unsound site) more low in come units, this village would solveltfie pro- blem of sub-standard housing, we woul.d be automatiimlly for it. “ Let’s solve the problem once and for all,’’ we’d agree, “^ d rid out- selves of the blight fostered upon us by profit- seekers.” But 200 more units of housing in the eastern part of the viUage would not do that. It would oiUy create another larger ghetto. We are in favor of reh^ilitafing what we have before we b ^ d new ^ i d r a t i a l units. and senlOT citizen housing in another two complexes. Very few suburban villages the size and scope of Freeport have done that We are an integrated-cominunity, pibu^y - so.d.a commuhi^ which should be and could- code enforcement ano^er. Freeport has been fortunate in securing federal fiinds to eimbie it to rehabilitate housing ini s p ^ a l improve ment areas.
