When I was a kid, a new affordable housing complex went up behind my house in South Davis. My neighbors fought it. There was much opposition. The fear was real: that something precious about our street, our Davis, was about to be taken away.
Then it was built. Years passed. I grew up sharing classrooms and lunch tables and bike paths with the children who lived there. Twenty years later, I love it. I love my neighbors. I love having grown up in a place diverse enough to show me the world before I ever left it.
That is the Davis I am fighting for. And it is exactly why I am voting Yes on Measure V this June…
