Questions & Answers
Questions from League of Women Voters, Berkeley/Albany/Emeryville, Voter Services Committee (5)
Issues and Problems that most affect students:
1) high tuition rates
2) very few affordable housing near campus (or even far from campus)
3) sexual assault and violence
4) vulnerability to property crimes - theft of cell phones and laptop computers
1) better coordination between the City and the business owners and merchants about their needs - including police policies
2) easier access to busines permits - including the one with Alameda County.
3) As a Councilmember, I will explore and advocate for a small business lease/rent control
