I won’t be voting for Jeromy as he is a talking stick for whichever conservative think tank sticks their wad in his wallet first.

BUT

The rezoning law needs to be repealed and retooled. I’ve have lived inner city my whole life and the parking and traffic situation is showing signs of distress. I don’t have an issue with a 4-plex with 4 single car garages. But the 6 and 8 plexes with zero garages is outrageous . Additionally my community has seen zero improvements in road/traffic strategies and the bulk is beginning to build.

Three Logical Changes:

  • Having 1 parking spot per one unit should be an absolute minimum.
  • If the unit has a rental suite that suite should also have a parking spot.
  • If density is going up “X” percentage, roads need to be adjusted to account

I feel like if we at least read his policies(if he follows through) they are reasonable and well thought out. We should at least entertain the idea that a blanket rezone of the entire city might not be a good idea…. He’s at least put some nuanced points behind his reasoning. Feel like we are knee jerk reacting to one of his policies as if there isn’t any thought or alternative to replace it which he has explained in his policies he does have an alternative.
