Barri Worth Girvan on Housing and Abundance
“Her ideas are bold, and focused on delivering safe, clean neighborhoods, real progress on homelessness, housing people can afford, a thriving local economy and city services that work for us.”
“Make it easier for homeowners to build ADUs and small‑scale housing.”
“Build near transit, jobs, and existing density , not in high‑fire zones or areas without infrastructure.”
