“Lead efforts to cut red tape, increase housing supply and construction, and make housing more affordable for buyers and renters.”

“Rent: Increase the amount of market-rate housing, ban private equity companies from buying up tons of houses and driving up costs, and pass the HELPER Act to extend VA-style home loans to teachers, nurses and first responders.”

“We need to make sure regulators answer to patients, not pharmaceutical executives, and increase the housing supply by cutting the red tape for developers and protect renters from the price gouging.”

Programs that help working families achieve homeownership work; we just need to expand them so everyone has a fair shot, not just veterans like me.”

“Expand housing supply and cut red tape that makes it harder and more expensive to build homes—so families can afford to live near where they work.”

ADUs are one option to increase the supply of housing in communities that are primarily zoned for single-family homes or have little to no vacant land.”

“Scott’s plan will build 8 million homes over the next decade. His national regulatory strategy will cut the red tape and reform bureaucratic processes to make homes faster and cheaper to build. And his national investment strategy will make a generational investment in social housing and affordable housing, paid for by reversing big portions of the Bush and Trump mega tax cuts on corporations and the wealthy.”

“Scott is a nationally renowned leader on housing, authoring California's most consequential streamlining laws resulting in the construction of tens of thousands of homes — including 3,000+ below market rate, affordable homes in San Francisco.

It will help California reduce its 3.5 million home shortage, allow affordable housing to be built in many more parts of California, and address the impacts of climate change by allowing more people to live near transit and near where they work, thus reducing commutes and greenhouse gas emissions.”

“We need to do everything we can to increase housing supply to reduce housing prices – funding research into cheaper construction materials, massive public-private partnerships to increase supply, expanded first-time homebuyer programs like the VA loan program that helped me to other public servants that serve their communities (like teachers, nurses, and first responders), and stopping Wall Street from buying up homes from all the rest of us.

That means tearing down the exclusionary zoning laws that have upheld segregation and blocked housing construction for decades, public financing that stays in the game when private capital walks away, and building millions of permanently affordable homes that are never handed back to speculators – union-built, beautifully designed, and controlled by the people who live in them.”

“Scott began fighting for more housing on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, where in 2012 he became the first Supervisor in a generation to upzone his own district. He took that fight to the California Legislature, passing laws that completely overhauled California’s broken housing system, helping lower costs and build tens of thousands of affordable homes.”

“Política de vivienda que aborde tanto el costo como el clima Apoyo el uso de todas las herramientas a nuestra disposición para abordar la crisis de vivienda y construir comunidades más sostenibles.

La innovación del sector público es clave para salir de nuestra crisis de vivienda, reducir la contaminación y construir comunidades resilientes.”
