Housing diversity for whom?
If the town were to encourage greater housing diversity, would you like to address the needs of a particular population, such as first-time home buyers, young families, town workers, workforce, seniors? Why? How might focusing on this population influence housing characteristics, if at all?

No, if a developer were ever willing to work with us for affordable housing, we should consider the proposal. Getting too specific could discourage development.

We should create housing to meet the needs identified in the Comprehensive Plan, i.e. downsizing seniors, our local workforce and new families - AND the housing should welcome kids! Thanks.

I'm not opposed to the town "encouraging" different types of housing structures that might appeal to a greater set of demographically diverse folks, but having the town qualify (choose) who gets to buy or live in such homes I would be opposed to. I think "encouragement" will necessarily have to take the form of greater density of housing units per square foot of land area - which means smaller units and tower structures.
