Nov. 2022 Election: Q&A with Laurie Davies, California state Assembly District 74 candidate [Opinion]
Between now and early October when voting gets underway, The San Diego Union-Tribune Editorial Board is planning to publish dozens of candidate Q&As and nearly two dozen commentaries connected to a handful of San Diego city ballot measures and seven state propositions on the Nov. 8 election. Keep checking back as we fill in this voter guide.
Q: The California Air Resources Board has adopted a policy that would ban the sale of new gas-powered vehicles in the state by 2035. What would you do to ease the transition to electric vehicles and ensure affordability, equity and practicality? Q: Housing affordability is a huge issue in California. What can you do to help renters or homeowners who are struggling now?
As we know, for years, cities have sometimes blocked any new developments and with this bill, we can ensure localities make good-faith efforts to actually provide spaces for developers to build new housing. This will give localities a seat at the table and the flexibility to work with state partners to fit the needs of their communities. Orange and San Diego counties are not San Francisco, and our housing plans do not need to mirror that. A one-size-fits-all approach does not work.
A: Homelessness is getting worse, not better. There is no progress, only more money. The majority in the Legislature and in the big cities will not accept the truth: Until we have more shelters and require people to use them, the problem will get worse. Concurrently, we must build more drug treatment centers and teach people how to manage and cope with their addictions. I believe the time is now to throw the kitchen sink at this issue.
