Jeffrey Burroughs on Housing and Abundance
“I support expanding deeply affordable and workforce housing through smart zoning reform, missing-middle housing, and partnerships that tie affordability to local incomes, not just market trends.”
“That means investing in infrastructure, supporting housing policies that allow working people to remain in our city, and planning growth in ways that protect neighborhood character and quality of life.”
“Protecting our natural resources requires practical steps: smart land use that reduces sprawl, policies that protect waterways, responsible development practices, and sustainability efforts that align with infrastructure capacity.”
