Try Wenatchee Instead: I agree, the housing market's out of whack. Perhaps we should take a break from all types of zoning carrots aimed at new construction - the tax breaks and added height, reduction in open space, etc., and quit rewarding the construction of overpriced condos and six-pak townhomes ...
