Mayor WEBBER: For people who are reflecting on this, I think there's absolutely no downside to this measure. It meets a crying need for funds to help support affordable and workforce housing. The people who will benefit our folks like teachers, nurses, police officers, firefighters, EMTs, folks whose families have lived here for generations and want their kids and grandkids who work in Santa Fe to live here.
This is a tax designed to provide the funds we need so that anyone can work and live in Santa Fe and
we don't become the kind of community where only wealthy people can afford to live. The protections are in place to guide how the money will be spent through the affordable housing trust fund and the appointed board of residents.
