Should there be rent control? If the government required rent control, rents would probably go up, so I would say no. The government should not require inspections after real estate sales. The buyer should be smart enough to know, to look and ask about the property they are buying. Should government require property inspections on rental properties? The Proactive Rental Housing Inspection Program. is a done deal, it was even supported by the Apartment Association, and yes inspections should be done on
all rental properties.
Government should mandate a percentage of units be set aside for low income housing. Low
income housing should be spread out and not concentrated in the same
area. The government should release some land that could be developed that is held by the
government. Everyone should be able to afford housing and to be able to live in them too. To increase home ownership the government should also keep on giving first time buyers incentives and helping them to buy a home.
If elected, what steps would you take to address the concerns of
the LGBTQ community in your jurisdiction? Being a Bi-Sexual
Multi-Racial Female, I have been fighting for equal rights and standing
up for everyone and will continue to do so.I have been discriminated by being bi-sexual and multi-racial. When
my brother married the love of his life, his partner Dean, our family
was very proud but there were friends that hated it and said hurtful
things, I stepped up to defend my brother and his right to marry
whomever he wanted.
Everyone has the right to marry anyone that they
want.
How can politics support the arts? I would identify a business that allows artists to express themselves creatively. For instance, I believe Fox Coffee House is an asset to the artistic community because it allows local artists to express themselves regardless of artistic genre. It is significant to the community because it helps the local artists connect with each other and grow.
The under-utilized municipal assets are homemade crafts and the artists that made them. I would make them more easily accessible by bringing those artists into Events like the Neighborhood Art Walks.
I would support these businesses by promoting them to the community, having meetings within the business and by having pop up events at the businesses themselves. Municipal Government should fund the arts through grants and school funding. I would advocate to discuss municipal funding for the arts to better understand how much government support and funding is practical and feasible.
