Editorial: Astoria rejected a housing tax. Now build solutions.

Feelings about Astoria’s housing predicament were laid bare by the campaign for Measure 4-247 and the reaction against it. Measure proponents approached the issue with admirable conviction. Despite Oregonians’ deep aversion to new taxes, nearly four out of 10 Astoria voters supported a levy on owners of homes occupied less than half the year, with exceptions for certain circumstances. That says something about how urgently many residents want action.
