Dear Editor:

Another day, another two hours in traffic. We seem to be planning our whole day around traffic. If only we could afford to live closer to work and good schools.

Washington's economy is growing faster than the rest of the nation.  Our population is growing, but the supply of middle-income homes isn't. People have to drive further and further to find a good home. That means traffic jams, long commutes, sprawl that harms our environment and home prices rising 160 percent in some areas.

We need our lawmakers to make our Quality of Life a priority. They should help boost the supply of homes working families can afford and to make roads, schools, and thriving neighborhoods a priority.

Sincerely,

Full name, home address, daytime and evening telephone numbers (for verification)
