tuition is too damn high.

we have to do everything possible to build more housing, and the more affordable that housing is, the better.

Have you tried raising the wages?

Let me interrupt. I know you are talking about streamlining things.

We pass a lot of laws in Congress, we repeal some, but we cannot repeal the law of supply and demand.

Homelessness is the number one problem I hear about. The Federal Government has to do more as far as resources.

The rents are too damn high, but also the wages are too damn low.

I hope you would join me--and this is a State matter--in trying to get the sales tax that is generated by building... allocated to the city where the building takes place.

It is not that these fees will be passed on to the consumer. It is that the building won't be built, and then everybody will pay a higher rent because the supply of units will be down while the demand is still up.

The homelessness is the tip of the iceberg, and the homelessness we see is the tip of that iceberg.

We may or may not get split roll, but if we get split roll, it has to be tied to ending fees at least for rental housing.

The homelessness issue is a combination of issues. Some are homeless because of substance abuse and psychological problems and trauma. Some are mostly homeless because the rent is too damn high.
