| Collapse all
- I will lead the effort to build 5,000 units of affordable housing in 3 years. Yes, we need to invest more into this area, but we can use alternative building products like cross-laminated-timber to lower costs and combat climate change; we can partner with proven non-profits like Plymouth housing and the Pike Place Market Foundation to reach those with mental illness or substance addiction; and we can create a homelessness prevention fund to assist neighbors struggling to avoid economic displacement, the average cost for which would be ~$1,200. These are just a few strategies we can deploy to meet this tremendous challenge ahead.
- We need to build a one-for-one replacement to the Magnolia Bridge. It rests over one of the most important freight corridors in the PNW, delivers over 280 buses into the downtown core every day, and is one of only 3 roads into a community already isolated from the rest of the city. By rebuilding this bridge with a creative funding strategy incorporating the Port, County Metro, BNSF Railroad, State, and even Federal stakeholders, we can set a sustainable model for future transportation infrastructure reinvestment, and secure better access for and into Magnolia, its business district, and Discovery Park.
- Performance auditing allows us to not only verify the efficiency of programs and departments, but their efficacy. As taxpayers and legislators, we have the right and will be better informed to have reliable access to the inputs, outputs, and success metrics of our municipal operations. We need to bolster the auditors office and tie performance auditing to our budget process akin to King County's model, which has found over $127 million in savings in the last three years alone. These savings could allow Seattle, too, to double down on investments to solving our most pressing challenges.
This is my city; the place where I grew up; my home. When your home is on fire, you don't save just one room and call it a day. You get help from your neighbors to put the whole fire out, and you rebuild something new together. It's time for a new sense of urgency in this city to demand real results. I will create that change as your next city council member.
