Roper's Take on:

Housing

Homeownership Should Be Within Reach

Owning your own home used to be the foundation of the American Dream. Today, far too many families are boxed out by rising prices, high interest rates, and a lack of available homes. We need to expand access to affordable mortgages, support first-time homebuyers, and ensure working families have a fair shot at owning a home in their desired community.

We Need to Build More Housing

The affordability crisis is driven in part by a simple reality: there are not enough homes. We need to make it easier and faster to build housing by investing in infrastructure, cutting unnecessary delays, and encouraging responsible development that meets the needs of growing communities. Increasing supply is essential to lowering costs and restoring affordability.

Keeping Our Homes Away From Hedge Funds

Homeownership should be within reach for families who want to live and build their future in the Valley, not dominated by large institutional investors buying up single-family homes. When corporations purchase homes in bulk, it reduces supply, drives up prices, and makes it harder for local families to compete. We need to strengthen restrictions on institutional investors purchasing single-family homes, protect opportunities for first-time buyers, and ensure housing policies prioritize families, not corporate profits. Housing should be a pathway to stability and opportunity, not a profit source for Wall Street.
