“This city needs a better plan. Vacant buildings and lots like this one should not be made into more ‘affordable housing’ that’s not affordable. Put it into a community land trust so that the community can control it, and preserve our historic culture here in El Barrio. We have so much fantastic talent. Being homeless doesn’t mean you’re not creative, not talented, don’t have contributions to make – it means you can’t afford this city’s rent. And lots of people can’t. Enough is enough. Let’s get to work.”
