1. Do you favor additional housing for low and very low income residents, and, if yes, what specific steps would you take to expedite and fund such housing?

Answer from Micki Weinberg:

Yes, I favor housing for low and very low income residents. Berkeley has a Housing Trust Fund which subsidizes non-profit housing development for such purposes. The problem in BErkeley is that we have a very vocal populace which obstructs housing projects. If elected, I will commit to supporting housing for low income residents. We cannot allow a few loud and active people prevent these projects from happening.

Responses to questions asked of each candidate are reproduced as submitted to the League.  Candidates' statements are presented as submitted. Direct references to opponents are not permitted.

The order of the candidates is random and changes daily.
