If you recall [some may not] that the City of Gallup had an outside consultant conduct an analysis of the City’s Housing market.   The end result was the production of a 1 and ½ inch report which was adopted by the City Council on June 9, 2020 (Resolution R2020-15.).  This analysis would later become the basis for Resolution R022-13 adopted by the City Council on May 24, 2022 “Declaring a Housing Emergency in the City of Gallup and urging support to address this emergency.”

So, here we are – on Aug. 19, 2024 – “wondering” what has been done about this “emergency?”     This is four years and two months later.    I have...

It’s not “old” as a matter of age that’s the issue...
