That  means if you decide 20 years from now to sell, it is affordable to the
IN coming family , but you will now be priced out of buying elsewhere. If you
never move you are fine. But if you need to relocate, the selling price of
your old home will be much less than it will cost to replace it with a new
home where people didn't do the community land trust. It closes off too many
options in a very mobile society.This is why people are skeptical.
