To address housing, I propose reforms like transferring vacant MRA lots to community land trusts, strengthening the affordable housing trust fund, and building a comprehensive housing plan …
I’ll modernize city processes, software, and training so residents can easily navigate government and influence decisions because the people, not bureaucracy, should be the city’s decision-makers. I’ll also elevate microbusinesses as a workforce development strategy— bringing mobile advising into neighborhoods and offering programs for steady-income ventures, not just high-growth or B2G.
