Robert White Talks Housing Committee Priorities
b"In this Hearing the Council interview, we sat down with At-Large Councilmember Robert White to discuss his new committee chairmanship, with the Committee on Housing. For the first time in several years, both housing and homelessness are under the jurisdiction of the same committee, so we discuss the recent clearing of an encampment at McPherson Square. We talk about the infamous and perpetual waiting list for housing vouchers. We return to the topic we first broached on the show back in 2021, which is now attracting broader attention: the conversion of downtown office buildings into residential use. We discuss the current Congressional and Presidential interference with the Revised Criminal Code. Plus, to lighten things up, Councilmember White picks which of his colleagues he'd assign to a variety of oddball tasks. Be sure to watch!"
