Why would you do that? Tell me what is preferable: allowing apartments to sit by idly, while homeless families are sleeping right outside the building that could potentially be sheltering them, as affordable housing, instead? Where is the political clout in this city, that could & should increase the amount of affordable housing stock, as soon as possible? We have a crisis on our hands, as the numbers of protestors fill the streets of downtown. I ask our Mayor: how will you shine? I appreciate that you are advocating for better banking, but more needs to be done NOW. Thank you.
