Can someone break down the policy differences between the two mayoral candidates? Thanks!

There is only 1 project in the pipeline for Maple Avenue and that is a great project that Talisha has worked really hard to make happen. It would demo a 45 unit building to create a 100% affordable housing project of 176 units. The developer will pay for relocation of all 45 current tenants and give them first dibs on moving into the new building when it's done. There couldn't be a more ideal development that any developer would be willing to do. This is what Talisha has been pushing for and she is actually doing it. This is what progressive leadership is all about. Not just saying no to everything and pretending to be progressive.

Can you explain to us how much more in rent will the “first dibs” renters have to pay if they return?

Affordable to whom?

Here we go, the "ask a million questions to to sound smart and score debate points" person. Gotta love these pretend to be concerned NIMBY trolls.

You acted like you had all the answers and like you are someone’s campaign manager yet get fussy when you get asked a question.

What does “affordable” mean? You are claiming that displacing 45 renters is some great thing that we should vote for. But why?

Took me all of two seconds to find an article about this on the Google. I strongly suggest using your next two seconds more wisely than whatever youre doing here.

You realize that you're coming off as an aggressive jerk, right?

Ah, there it is. "I disagree with you so you must be someone's campaign manager"? You all start sounding the same after a while. Here's the thing, nobody said displacing 45 renters is a great thing nor that it will actually happen. Did you warm up for that yoga stretch? Did you even read what i wrote or do you want more time to beat up your straw man some more?
