The Manhattan City Commission met Tuesday night to hear a presentation which focused on the current housing market situation in the city. The presentation was given by Development Strategies and is part of a larger project by the City of Manhattan to focus on the challenge of ensuring the availability of housing that is suitable to the growing community. A 2019 survey cited by one of the presenters showed housing attainability and rental housing condition were key areas of concern for Manhattan residents. As the presenters on Tuesday pointed out, there are many difficulties standing in the way of average citizens being able to afford adequate housing in Manhattan. “We’re not recommending anything yet, we’re getting the information out there about the needs… current needs and future needs, where we see demand going and some of the implications for future land use and what potential target markets might be in the future,” Andy Tsister, a member of Development Strategies, said.
