But can we state for certain that those living on the streets are mentally ill? Or even that they entered that situation due to mental illness?
I was asked about the new ''market priced'' ''affordable'' housing that is slated to be built at the old LSS property. Would these help the housing situation in Laconia? My answer was no. It will simply create more opportunity for those coming from outside the area to move to the area at a less expensive rate than might currently exist.
The population in Laconia is roughly what it was in the mid-80s, the housing stock has expanded rapidly.
