ASHEVILLE - The city s affordable housing problem can be seen in the skyrocketing costs of homes and the increasing number of people forced to sleep in wooded lots or doorways.
Now an unlikely solution could be seen at the center of the region s biggest transit hub.
A $2.5 million purchase expected to be approved by the City Council May 25 would set the stage for the expansion of the Asheville Rides Transit center. It is also intended to provide room for a larger mixed-use development to include affordable housing, commercial uses and other public institutional spaces, according to the proposal before the council.
