How do you feel about homestead exemptions in general?


I'm in favor of them only if they are extended to renters. I don't know how to do this, but everyone should get a lower cost for their first home, even if it is an apartment. If you want a second home, apartment, campsite, or whatever additional place to dwell I'm fine with you paying a little extra for that luxury, but for your first home we should make it affordable.


Same way I feel about any rules. Worth trying and seeing how they can get the desired outcomes.

I should have said that rent stabilization may work out some day. Just it is not my expectation that it will, as it has a record of not. As such, I would expect some inflationary pressure on utility rates.
