City's so-called charm can't save it if it doesn't provide affordable and crime free urban housing. City officials should be held accountable for this on every election. Other topics can wait, this is most urgent
Yes, the housing being too expensive because too many people have too much money is a major problem to solve. You’d think people fleeing to Texas would lead to lower housing prices, but that isn’t really occurring. I guess that’s the difference between fleeing due to “it’s too crowded, so everyone is leaving” (ie San Francisco) in contrast to fleeing due to a lack of economic opportunities (ie Detroit).
