One thought on “Rep. Blake Johnson: State Legislature should let cities lead on housing policy

  1. Absolutely, state government must trust cities to govern themselves. However, citizens must trust state govt to guard against detrimental local policy and help guarantee good local govt.
    🚨In Fishers, Mayor fast-tracked rental cap ordinance and purposefully misled public. Example: City headlined “Institutional Investors grabbing Fishers homes” as rationale for rental cap. Truth is, those investors haven’t purchased a single home in Fishers for almost 2-1/2 years.
    So a diverse group of concerned citizens quickly activated to help educate community about Rental Cap proposal, shared the actual housing data and held a public Town Hall – because Fishers City Govt failed to inform & engage citizens transparently. Citizens deserved the facts and opportunity to support or oppose the rental cap before city council voted.
    FishersRentalCap.com was created by Fishers citizens for public with fact sheet, subdivision data, map, etc.
