is getting closer to building its first affordable workforce housing."The only thing you have to worry about around here is kids messing with your car," said Joseph Latini, who works in Bee Cave.
"I lived in the apartments behind me, which are in the Galleria as well, and then those got pretty pricey, so I had to move," Latini said. "On a bad day, basically you pay for gas to get here and go home, so you're basically not making any money," said Latini. Many middle-class workers in Bee Cave are dealing with this unaffordability, so the city is planning to use a 22-acre city-owned tract of land to build affordable workforce housing. It's called the Skaggs Property because it's located on Skaggs Dr, between Bee Cave Pkwy and State Highway 71.
Hoff said, for example, that a family of four that makes between $50,000 and $80,000 a year will qualify. She said it would reduce the average two-bedroom apartment's monthly cost from $2,300 to about $1,100.
