This is the best package we've seen so far. It's a tremendous response to the housing crisis.

We know we have a housing crisis. We know our housing programs are excellent. We have the money to use for housing, which is dedicated for housing, so this should be our banner year.

If we can't keep any police officers, and if we can't keep teachers and firefighters, we are going to be a community that can't function.

We have heard it a million times. It is a ridiculous notion. The homes will be priced at whatever the market will bear.

We've got the House and Senate leadership talking in a way that's different than they did before.

The higher the prices, the more you need housing subsidies, so the system works perfectly unless you divert the money. Then there's a meltdown.
