Where they stand:
DEVELOPMENT Bray-Ali
Wants to pass a law giving tenants the opportunity to buy their buildings if the owner decides to sell. (Washington, D.C., has a similar law.)
Wants to update city’s zoning code to change parking requirements near transit stops.
Wants to do community outreach when an affordable housing project is proposed in an area so it isn’t blocked by neighbors.
Cedillo
Says that more than two-thirds of housing built or planned in his district during his tenure has been affordable units.
Wants to overturn the Costa-Hawkins Act, which bars rental caps on single-family homes and some apartments.
Wants to work with neighborhoods to help counter “not in my back yard” attitudes toward development.
DIGITAL BILLBOARDS Bray-Ali
Doesn’t support a city proposal to collect revenue from digital billboards on city property. Says billboards are a distraction to motorists and create light pollution.
Wants City Hall to instead focus on supporting businesses that increase the city’s tax base.
Cedillo
Supports the proposal to collect revenue from digital billboards on city property.
Wants that revenue to go back into the communities where the displays are located, such as Pico-Union.
AIRBNB Bray-Ali
Wants neighborhoods to decide their own limits on the number of Airbnb units in their areas to avoid displacement of renters and long-term residents. • Believes fines for noncompliance are too high in the proposed rules.
Cedillo
Hasn’t taken a position on proposed city rules that would allow homeowners to rent out their residences for 180 days a year with Airbnb and similar services.
