www.montereycountynow.com OCTOBER 31-NOVEMBER 6, 2024 MONTEREY COUNTY WEEKLY 9 MoniqueForMayor.org PAID FOR BY MONIQUE KALDY FOR MONTEREY MAYOR 2024 FPPC# 1474298 Monterey County Sheriff Tina Nieto is "concerned when vacant homes are available for the public to view. What safeguards have the Mayor and Council put in place to protect these homes?" My mission will be to end wasteful spending on a program that puts homes at risk and use those funds to double the rental assistance program, helping renters with affordability now. To make housing more affordable in the long term, I will remove barriers to housing creation. The Rental Registry, by publicly disclosing vacant rental units, inadvertently makes them susceptible to crime or occupation by squatters. This poses a significant risk to both the property owners and the community at large. It creates privacy and safety concerns and costs us over $500k annually. What it does not do is create more affordable housing or create housing in general. In fact, housing availability has declined. We need real solutions and a leader who prioritizes housing and public safety. I am that leader. PAID POLITICAL AD | AUTHORIZED BY JIMMY PANETTA FOR CONGRESS | P.O. BOX 103, CARMEL VALLEY, CA 93924.
