Great to work w/ ⁦@CityofFlagstaff⁩ on long-needed upgrades to #Route66 especially at Woody Mountain Rd intersection with 200+ Timber Sky #AffordableHousing filling up this fall!

Seven months ago, Arizona’s cities and towns had to turn in their housing reports. But in true group project fashion, the state still hasn’t released the results.

$1,000 down payment starter homes in Flagstaff, Arizona. I got to speak to the developer today - he chose to integrate these cottages into a master-planned community where the market-rate houses cost $2m. #Habitat #creation

Thank you 3rd year resident physicians from Flagstaff for coming down to meet your senator at the Capitol. It means a lot. We need good doctors like YOU!

Great to hear Gov. Hobbs wants SB 1229 to be negotiated! Here's *some* of what we've negotiated ALL based on feedback from League.
1) Increased Minimum Lot Sizes from 1,500 sq ft to 3,000
2) Removed a provision that prohibited mandatory private streets or roads (continued...)

WOW. 1 in 4 respondents considering leaving Arizona because of high housing costs. As legislators, we have a duty to solve this or risk losing our workforce. We passed the Starter Homes Act(SB1229) with bipartisan support yesterday. Let’s get it to the Gov. & signed into law!

[Wendy Rogers @WendyRogersAZ]

My Senate Concurrent Resolution 1002 passed the Arizona Senate 16-11.

(Would not require the governor’s signature; goes straight to the ballot.)

For the long awaited first time, this would LET THE VOTERS DECIDE to PROHIBIT PHOTO RADAR across Arizona… restoring freedom and privacy to Arizona’s drivers.

me in 1995 being lazy instead of investing in my first house like all the mayors who oppose the Starter Homes Act

[Arizona Senate Democrats @AZSenateDems]

Hear directly from the Democratic legislative members supporting "The Arizona Starter Home Act". #azleg

[Anna Hernandez @AnnaHernandezAZ]

The League and Mayors oppose the Arizona Starter Homes Act because it “Introduces Apartment-style Density in Single-family Residential Areas”. In the very next breath they also say the bill is not needed because cities are building more apartments.

Either someone didn’t read and understand the language of the bill or the League is using fear tactics to oppose a bill that would bring back smaller homes on smaller lots that create a path to homeownership to our working middle class.

[Christian Solorio Acuña @Solorio4Housing]

An entire generation is being locked out of homeownership because of exclusionary zoning laws that have made it illegal to build smaller homes on small lots.

'We have to do something': Lawmakers consider bipartisan bill to lower housing costs https://t.co/4kR8jQ0Qcv

[Sen. Analise Ortiz (@senanaliseortiz.bsky.social) @SenAnaliseOrtiz]

The Starter Homes Act(HB 2371/SB 1229) passed House Commerce. It legalizes smaller lot sizes. Our bipartisan coalition is strong & determined. Too many are locked out of the opportunity to own a home and build wealth. It’s time to bring back the American dream of homeownership.

[Wendy Rogers @WendyRogersAZ]

I’m the one holding up the sign!

And I support this bill, especially for Flagstaff!

[Sen. Analise Ortiz (@senanaliseortiz.bsky.social) @SenAnaliseOrtiz]

The impact of our new casita law is real & immediate in the lives of people like Diane. City ordinance didn’t cut it, so state intervention ensured she could live in a comfortable, affordable home close to family. I look forward to working on more housing solutions this session.
