The Dec. 20 editorial "An uninhabitable trade" criticized the proposed regional contribution agreement between Toms River and Lakewood. While I recognize that some people disagree with the basic concept of RCAs, they nevertheless are a permitted component of municipal affordable housing plans.

I would like to offer comments and perspectives on Toms River's affordable housing efforts.
Of all 566 municipalities in New Jersey, Toms River has the highest affordable housing obligation at 1,832 units under the first two rounds assigned by the Council on Affordable Housing. This obligation is about 40 percent higher than Jackson, which has the second-highest municipal obligation.
