PF neighborhood to set example for homeownership through public-private partnerships

For two long years, Ryan Ryle and his fiance, Jayne Foster, tried to buy a home in North Idaho. Ryle, who grew up just on the other side of the Idaho-Washington stateline, said the couple would put in offers on houses just to constantly be outbid by other buyers who had larger down payments or cash in hand. “We even looked at new builds, but we needed so much earnest money down, we couldn’t save for it,” Ryle said Thursday.

ADVERTISING: Advertorial — Does vitamin D supplements protect against colds and flu?

Living in the beautiful northwest like we do, odds are that you don’t get enough vitamin D. The same holds true if you don’t get outside for at least a 15-minute daily walk in the sun. Being deficient in vitamin D may increase the risk of a whole host of chronic diseases, such as osteoporosis, heart disease, depression and multiple sclerosis among others and even the seasonal flu. Recently studies have come to light showing how vitamin D can help our immune system to combat the flu and respiratory infections.

MY TURN: Housing crisis remains

We all have memories of how things used to be. Sometimes those memories are distorted by the passage of time and appear significantly different today. Kootenai County in 1980 had a significantly smaller population and more people have wanted to share in it. That has continued to the current time. The problem is the pie is only so large. Too many of us want a bigger piece than we are entitled to. If our community is to be economically viable and provide housing for all the people who will be here, we need to start sharing the pie. Groups such as Kootenai Connect are an essential part because it’s focus is regional. We all need that wider focus as well. We can achieve that by electing knowledgeable leaders and keeping the good ones we have. We must support leaders who offer hope and solutions not people who offer only blame.
