“Poverty with a view” might be a local cliché, but it points to something real: teachers, firefighters, nurses, service workers, and longtime residents are getting priced out, doubling up in crowded accommodations, or commuting long distances just to make life work. That’s not the Flagstaff I want for my neighbors, or for the next generation trying to put down roots.

I’m a Flagstaff resident concerned about the rising cost of housing, and I support common-sense policies that allow more homes of different types and price points across our city. I want Flagstaff to welcome teachers, workers, families, students, and longtime locals by reducing unnecessary barriers that raise costs, encouraging neighborhood-scale housing options, and sharing the responsibility for meeting our housing needs fairly citywide.
