<big>'''Build more housing'''</big><small>
* <small>We strongly support building new housing. We have a severe housing shortage.<br /></small>
 
* <small>If we continue to add 10,000 residents per year in Greater Reno and only add 4,000 housing units per year, the shortage will continue.</small><br />
 
* <small>Increasing supply will lower prices for all.<br />
 
* If we want to lower housing prices and rents, we must build more than 4,000 housing units per year. It’s that simple.<br />
Line 49:
* Many other neighbors want to live in high density housing with high-quality public transit and walkability. We don’t have to wait. Housing can be built before or in anticipation of the construction of future transit improvements.<br />
 
* The people most hurt by a housing shortage are those with the least means.<br /></small>
 
* '''It’s time to embrace Missing Middle Housing -- housing with anywhere from two to fifty units. This means duplexes, townhomes and small apartment complexes. It's called “missing” because in Greater Reno and most cities it's hard to find and zoning is not there to support it.'''</small><br />
 
 
<big>'''Setting a goal by the numbers'''</big><br />
<small>
* <small>Our goal is to keep housing costs for owners and renters at or below 30% of gross income and combined housing and transportation costs below 45%. Households with costs above these two thresholds are considered burdened. <br />
 
* For the 76% of households in Greater Reno with less than $100,000 income, the goal is to bring combined housing and transportation to 45% of income for the majority. <br />
Line 132 ⟶ 133:
* We must mobilize our communities, employees of our businesses and other organizations, make our case in the media, write to legislators, support projects at hearings, support pro-housing candidates, and vote for more housing.<br />
