HOUSING DILEMMA IN SALEM

LENGTH: Short :   18 lines
ILLUSTRATION: PHOTO:  DON PETERSEN/Staff. Warren Robertson, shown in front of 
          his 40-year-old home on High Street in Salem, has seen his home 
          escalate in value, as well as in assessments, as the land around his
          home is developed into high-priced homes. Some Salem residents see 
          this as a problem for first-time home buyers seeking affordable 
          housing.
