Housing
I primarily favor supply-side solutions that promote diverse and abundant housing supply, and the preservation of existing affordable units. The state also plays a vital role in establishing balanced landlord-tenant law that gives both parties a fair process when resolving disputes. Unsafe living conditions and evictions have serious long-term consequences for our entire community, and can be deeply traumatic or even deadly for vulnerable individuals. I’ve been very impressed by the Fourth Judicial District’s eviction diversion and recovery program, and would support securing permanent funding and applying its principles beyond our district. Additionally, because housing and transportation are so closely intertwined, reducing sprawl and creating more transportation choices are important aspects of solving our housing dilemma.
