Housing affordability is a right that any resident should have. There should be a strong inventory of housing options for each income level that’s affordable, and that helps residents gain access to the help or resources they need.

Raleigh must be able to provide residents with safe, reliable, and efficient transportation options that meet their needs. We must have a solid infrastructure that truly supports residents in their everyday life - whether we’re using public transportation, driving, walking, or riding a bicycle.

Having a strong economy is rooted in our ability to equally steward our population growth well, while creating opportunities for long-term residents to grow into higher levels of economic stability. Our prosperity hinges on our ability to invest in our local workforce, educational institutions, and in downtown revitalization.

When a city meets the physical, social, and cultural needs of its residents, residents are more likely to experience deeper feelings of safety and well-being.  We must use a different approach to safety that addresses community concerns, involves residents in policy-making decisions, and adopts a holistic approach to safety beyond traditional policing.

Investing in state-of-the-art technology will help to support the advancement of remote work, small-business growth, collegiate talent retention, and communication between the city officials and residents.

Our ability to become a healthy city is directly related to residents’ ability to engage with the city. We will become a healthy Raleigh when:
    - There are easy and consistent opportunities for residents to give their input
    - There is trust and transparency between residents and local government
    - Those making decisions reflects the diversity of the city
