Please feel free to call me also for more info on neighborhood amenities 
and/or how to approach these managers.  Because there are so many 
vacancies in the area, these managers/owners may be willing to negotiate 
some lower rental fees, assuming credit reports are good.  These 
opportunities are within the jurisdiction of the new Beverly-Vermont 
Community Land Trust (BVCLT) which will be acquiring more properties in 
the next few years to ensure permanently affordable ecological housing 
for low to moderate income households in the area.

The more eco-oriented residents there are in and around LAEV and the 
BVCLT, the greater will be our collective strength in demonstrating the 
processes for making neighborhoods more sustainable.

Happy holidays to all.

Best wishes,
