Push for more deeply affordable housing: not just rent regulation, but policies to build new units with deeply affordable rents (e.g. <30% of income) or permanently affordable housing (community land trusts, non-profit owned).
Expand protections for eviction prevention: legal services for tenants, right to counsel, stronger safeguards for non-payment vs. non-fault cases.
Use public land (or enable transfer of under-used public property) to develop affordable housing.
Strengthen rent regulation further: cap rent increases more tightly, limit allowed pass-through costs, regulate short-term rentals.
Make homeownership more accessible: down payment assistance, property tax relief for lower income/fixed income households, programs to help first-generation homebuyers.
