Affordable Housing : The Palisades development & Sharon Carone

The heart and soul of any community is almost always with the young families that establish long term residence and lay the foundation for multi-generational presence.  

In the early 1990's a local general contractor applied for permission to build 44 single family homes in Calistoga.  The fascinating story how that developer chose to build 22 of the 44 homes as affordable, focusing on local residents and discouraging second home/investment buyers, is worth reviewing almost 30 years later.

This second conversation of four is with Sharon Carone, co-founder of Calistoga Realty.  Sharon adds important perspective and details to the overall development and especially to the program created to allow so many Calistoga residents to purchase a family home.
