Sanchez says tax exemptions require accountability and safe housing
Sanchez argues the violations are not just spreadsheet numbers but daily living conditions for families. He says the city cannot hand out tax exemptions without accountability and calls for developers and property managers to provide safe, stable, dignified homes after tenants move in.
Think about what those numbers mean for the families living there.
These aren't just violations on a spreadsheet.
These are the conditions people are expected to come home to every single day.
We cannot simply hand out tax exemptions without accountability and expect that all the problems will just disappear.
When we talk about building more affordable housing, I want to make it clear.
That the job of the developer, the property manager, the council member, and everybody else involved does not end once it's built and the tenant moves in.
The key to the door should unlock a safe, stable, and dignified home where you can build your future and rest your head at every night, knowing the roof is not about to cave in over you.
