Anonymous wisdom

In the comments of a previous post I preambled and asked:

I'm frustrated by the "mixed income is good" statements coming from the province and echoed media, when the policy and practice doesn't follow through.
Tomorrow, how does someone reading this make a change in the way this is played out?

I got this response:

You make people/organizations/newspapers accountable through communicating - you write letters to the editor, you comment on-line, you write blogs, use facebook, you vote for people who support healthy neighborhoods etc, etc... you challenge to push for change.

Policies can change - funding programs can have conditions - lets ensure affordable housing is good for everyone.

I would add that being involved with groups that do work to create mixed income housing, or to improve living conditions in disadvantaged communities is another way to contribute to this needed change.
