My Top 3 Priorities
Support SB 562, the Healthy California Act; access to affordable universal healthcare should be a right, not a privilege.
Campaign finance reform and removing the corruptive power of money in politics and legislation.
Provide everyone who wants it access to vocational programs in high school, community colleges and post-secondary education at a low cost like our state once provided.
Questions from League of Women Voters of California Education Fund (4)
What do you think the State should do to encourage affordable housing for all Californians?
Answer from Bill Ostrander:
To assure all Californians have access affordable housing, we must ease local and state barriers to development, build more high-density housing, more designated affordable housing and revamp Prop. 13. Also, we could build 3-5 million new homes by building on vacant land or under-used land already zoned for apartments, as well as building mid-rise housing near pulic transit stations. We could also add 790,000 new housing units by allowing "granny flats," including garage and basement apartments, cottages to houses. add
