I want to buy up a gang of properties in my neighborhood and give people the chance to live in new buildings. We should make our areas nice.

I am working hard to ensure that working families can continue to afford to live in our city.

My office has a view of low-cost housing, old East German prefabricated apartment buildings. It isn't an attractive view, but it's very helpful, because it reminds me to ask myself, whenever there is a decision to be made, whether the people who live there can afford our decisions.

The real story in housing will be a recovery in the economy that will drive a recovery in housing, When people are working, when there are more jobs, more households forming and people go back to buying cars, they're going to want their apartments and homes. And that's when you'll start to see a recovery in home prices.

I want my home to look good, feel good, and smell good. I want it to be inclusive, to reflect the people who live there.

Public housing is more than just a place to live, public housing programs should provide opportunities to residents and their families.

Housing programs designed to help young families and senior citizens purchase homes should be available to people of all races, including African Americans.

We can build new housing while preserving the quality and character of adjacent residential districts and ensuring infill development strengthens the surrounding neighborhood.

Even six months later, they have not figured out how do we help the people from the area get housing.
