Preguntas y Respuestas
Preguntas de The League of Women Voters North County San Diego (3)
Do you support increasing the housing density in Encinitas? What other options might there be for improving the City's supply of affordable housing?
Respuesta de Catherine Blakespear:
We must increase density in order to comply with state law. I believe we should comply with state law. Additionally, homes that are smaller are more affordable by design. I support Measure U, which is the city's housing plan.
Do you approve of the City's current approach to addressing the problems of homelessness in Encinitas? What specific changes, if any, would you make?
Respuesta de Catherine Blakespear:
We are always trying to do more to help those living without a home to find shelter and stability.
Do you advocate any changes to the City's current policies regarding recreational and medical cannabis businesses? Please explain.
Respuesta de Catherine Blakespear:
The voters will decide in 2020 whether the city should allow a full supply chain - manufacturing, cannabis kitchens, delivery and retail. I will support the voters in their determination.
