Bramson: Setting expectations for housing and homelessness on the 2024 ballot - San Jose Spotlight
Briefly

This November, no local ballot measures will address affordable housing or support for people in deep poverty, reflecting a critical need for future solutions.
Proposition 5 offers a chance for voters to impact affordable housing by enhancing decision-making power without increasing taxes, akin to past successful measures.
Proposition 33 returns rent control authority to local governments, allowing them to strengthen laws against displacement pressures in economically distressed areas.
While Proposition 36 highlights important economic hardships, it indicates a growing urgency for effective local interventions to combat rising homelessness and poverty.
