Q “What’s one issue in politics that you’ve changed your mind about?”
A: “The role of the private market in housing construction.”
Q: “How so?”
A: “I clearly recognize now that there is a very important role to be played, and one that city government must facilitate through the increasing of density around mass transit hubs, the ending of the requirement to build parking lots, as well as the need to up-zone neighborhoods that have historically not contributed to affordable housing production — namely, wealthier neighborhoods.”
