Thank you Mayor Corey Woods for being a leader in this housing crisis that we’re in. I hope other cities follow in your footsteps. @MayorGiles Jenn Duff In Mesa, we (The taxpayers) own so much land that we can do this without having to buy new properties. Let’s do this!

What the whiners and screamers, mostly Republican, don’t tell you is that every step of voting process has Rep and Dem observers involved. Watching. Participating. But let’s keep the fraud lie going. 🙄
