Here we are attempting to derive a pattern language to map ''all possible ways to make housing affordable''. Affordability is of course not the ''only'' problem or goal people have in housing or housing policy; people also seek housing quality,
This ''affordability ''<br/> Wiki inventor Ward Cunningham, and fellow Portlander, urbanist, & architectural theorist Michael Mehaffy have been working with others on a new pattern language and online pattern repository, ''A Pattern Language for Growing Regions ''(''APLGR; ''[http://www.sustasis.net/APLFGR.html draft version online], printed book forthcoming 2019). The affordability pattern language here could potentially be integrated with ''APLGR, ''and others pattern languages such as a proposed "[[Portland_Civic_Patterns_Repository|Portland Civic Patterns Repository]]" ''[citation needed] ''to describe approaches for civic governance and engagement.
Mehaffy talks about wikis and pattern languages as tools for "consensus development." ''[citation needed]''. In that vein, one of the purposes of this affordability pattern language is to suggest that quite varied patterns -- from public housing to 'abundant' market housing -- may all be sources of or factors in affordability, and considered practically rather than ideologically, they might often be combined in various ways, in a project or an environment. <br/> <br/>
