Incremental Housing and Mixed-Use Zoning
Let’s face it, housing has been static for decades due to arbitrary zoning laws. This is one of the major causes of the homelessness crisis and skyrocketing housing costs in our city. Housing is not an investment commodity – it’s essential for our community.
Transparent Accounting
You can’t fix what you don’t see. Like many cities, Sacramento’s budget is complicated. Because it includes so many projects, and is funded by many different revenue sources, it’s impossible for most people to understand. This type of budgeting hides the true cost of deferred maintenance and the city’s ability to pay for basic services.
Ending Parking Subsidies
Land is valuable in our city, and we need to make sure it’s used productively and provides value. Free storage for privately owned vehicles wastes an average of 162 sq. ft. per spot, worth around $64,800. Do you think this is a good use of our land?

Local Groups Transform Downtown Street Parking into Community Parklets for Park(ing) Day
On September 21, a dozen of us transformed just 2 parking spots downtown outside Cafe Xocolatl into a vibrant community living room. We brought over 70 people to enjoy games, community, and art for an afternoon. This was our first tactical urbanism event, and we thank everyone who made it happen!
