To build or not to build? Council candidates disagree on affordable housing
solutions

City council and mayoral candidates in Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale, Gilbert and Peoria
gave their thoughts on affordable housing, and views ran the gamut. Almost all Phoenix
candidates champion breaking down barriers to development and pushing for more
affordable housing, though several also support amending state law to allow rent
control. Some candidates in cities like Scottsdale and Gilbert continue to dig in their
heels against high-density apartment buildings.
