Housing Crisis.

The removal of the Crime Free Housing Ordinance as mentioned earlier will aid in more than just removing the division between the police and the people. Additionally its removal will end the restrictions placed on landlords that make it difficult for renters with any criminal past, even minor offenses, from gaining the basic necessity of shelter or even allowing such people from being a guest in their home.
The current administration has boasted that by the end of their term they will have demolished 300 houses in Granite City. This is wasted potential and opportunity. Where they see an eyesore I believe there is hope. Granite City has a high demand for affordable houses. I am currently in communication with groups and programs that help rebuild and restore homes. These Organizations have not been a part of Granite City due to the mayor's stance on vacant houses. I would much rather create an opportunity for a struggling family to rebuild a home than creating more maintenance costs on the taxpayers by creating empty fields for the government to mow.
