Gainesville City Council members heard a presentation updating them on the city’s housing survey and inventory at Thursday’s work session meeting. About 65 percent of city housing is occupied by renters, with the rest homeowners, said Community Development Director Rusty Ligon.That’s a reversal of the state average, he said. “I don’t know if we’ll ever get to that point, but we’d sure want to try to change that imbalance,” Ligon said.
