At the (Mathison Park) dedication April 13th someone confirmed that Burien has more affordable housing than any place else around.

My idea is two-fold:

1. Make Burien the "GO TO" place for thriftiness.

2. Partner with sister cities, any other town or city with some historical connection or any other town, which wants to be thrifty.

Also, the rich and middle class who want to help the poor could move here.

As Walter Cronkite pointed out when LBJ came out with "the War on Poverty," Jesus said, "The poor you have with you always."

Two ideas emerge here:

You will have a very steady supply of clientele.

You do well to help the poor.
