Re: “South Portland councilors offer mixed message on 42-unit affordable housing proposal” (Feb. 13):

As usual, affordable housing generates “parking and traffic” concerns when I suspect the underlying worry is something else.

Let’s face facts: Our affordable-housing crisis has been a long time coming and directly results from discrimination against development of all kinds, but especially affordable housing. Our society’s hypocrisy must be confronted in order to change this paradigm.
