Opposes Municipal Utility Districts (MUDs), Public Improvement Districts (PIDs), and other residential development incentives.

Believes in creating a comprehensive, long-term capital improvement strategy to address infrastructure strain from rapid development and the high ratio of apartments to single-family homes.

Believes the police, fire departments, and City Hall are inadequate to serve the current population.

Believes transportation issues are connected to city growth and the need for fiscal accountability.

Believes MUDs and PIDs lead to higher property taxes for new residents and first-time homebuyers, making the local housing market more volatile.

Believes incentives for developers create an imbalance that harms the community and supports prioritizing development practices that benefit residents over developers.
