If you work hard, you should be able to afford a home. Instead, home prices are outpacing wages, rents are rising fast, and too many families are being priced out of the communities where they grew up. In parts of this district, rents have jumped more than 25% since the pandemic, and a median-income family cannot afford the median-priced home. Tom is focused on bringing costs down and restoring a fair housing market. That means building more housing, cutting red tape, and taking on the corporate practices that are driving prices higher.
