Out supervisor candidates detail housing plans
The lack of affordable housing throughout the Bay Area remains one of the most pressing issues impacting the region. Should the three out candidates for supervisor seats in Alameda, Contra Costa, and San Mateo counties be elected, they plan to advance various proposals to address their jurisdictions' housing needs, from building more units near transit stations to backing developments aimed at LGBTQ seniors.The trio of supervisorial candidates laid out their plans in the questionnaires the Bay Area Reporter sent them, which also asked them how they would protect tenants unable to pay their rent during the COVID-19 pandemic from being evicted.
