Quotes
"Housing first; businesses and communities won't mean anything without the people here... What good is a community center if the community is pushed out of the neighborhood?" – Mobile Home Park Residents focus group
"More people living in the area means more businesses, and more businesses means more people." – Small Business Community focus group
"I like the idea of land banking, like buying the Oak Leaf, or like what happened at Normandy. I think we should be able to buy those so we don't lose that affordability." – Latinx Community focus group
"Food carts are a great opportunity to have your own business... they stayed open when many restaurants closed." – Latinx Community focus group
