      <![CDATA[One of the things we heard over and over again was that there were long waiting lists for any kind of heating or weatherization assistance. In the case of substandard rental housing, landlords would have to apply and agree to inspections.

      <![CDATA[If there is "a lot more going on" in the Red Springs case, then this story should include that information. I don't deny that electricity cost are a burden in the region, but the point of the story is to explain the issue and why it's happening.
