Good morning, neighbors and friends! As we start the week off, I'd like to hear your thoughts on a new series I'm working on about the affordable housing crisis many are facing on the East End. If you have found yourself having to move, due to your rental being sold, or having no place to live despite the fact that you work on the East End —or packing up and moving to another city or town because housing prices are just out of reach — we'd love to hear from you. Do you think the housing concerns have led to a shift in the landscape for longtime locals on the East End?

Please share your thoughts by emailing Lisa.Finn@patch.com.

Thank you so much!

Until tomorrow . . . .
