"Prop. 5 is a crucial step to empowering local communities to address local affordable housing and infrastructure needs. It allows local communities to take control."
"Critics worry that voters could be confused by the text of the measure, which reads, 'Allows local bonds for affordable housing and public infrastructure with 55% voter approval.' It lacks context about the current threshold of 66.67%."
"Opponents, like former San Jose City Councilmember Johnny Khamis, are concerned about potential increases in property taxes if the proposition passes, making it harder for seniors on fixed incomes to live in the area."
"This could open the floodgates to new propositions and taxes and reverse many protections we had under Prop. 13, affecting the affordability for long-term residents."
