So when City Hall says affordable housing, affordable for whom?

It's the best question that we can ask ourselves.

And look, we know that East Austin folks have been pushed to the brink on so many different reasons and not just for housing.

But one of the reasons why I'm running and why I think I'm the best candidate is because I want to take an all of government approach for too long at the city government, but also the county government.

We've talked about housing in a silo, like the same people who don't want affordable housing, don't want to be able to get groceries, don't want to have good schools, don't want their communities to be good with public safety.

And so I want to take that all of government approach.

What distinguishes me from the other candidates is I am looking at this race from an all-of-government approach to make sure that we're tackling a lot of the different issues, including public safety, the unhoused population.

We can't separate affordability from access to health care.

There was a study that I will send around in the box of the University of Chicago did that was really talking about how in places like, let's say, Chicago, looking at all the socioeconomic factors or different resources that people need, having a stable home is one of the largest indicators or whether or not there is going to be violence in the community.

And so...

To me, that means that if it's not affordable to live in a certain community, there could be higher rates of violence.

That doesn't mean it has to be gun violence, but instability and affordability and instability are just interchanged with each other and they're intertwined with each other in a way that Thank you so much for having me.

Yes.
