ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Two city councilors are looking to address Albuquerque's housing crisis by easing restrictions on housing developments. But their proposed bill is receiving mixed emotions ahead of a Monday night vote. This past month, city councilors Joaquin Baca and Dan Lewis teamed up to sponsor a bill they say would lessen the red tape to fast-track new developments like housing along busy main corridors. "Primarily, though, for me it's about housing. That's one of the biggest issues we have here in the city; lack of housing for our families, whether it's rental or purchase. And then also for our unhoused population," said Councilor Baca. The bill was announced on December 16 and the city council is set to vote on it Monday night. District 7's neighborhood association president Janice Arnold-Jones expressed her frustration, telling News 13 that this bill was rushed. "We've not had absolutely no chance to weigh in if this bill goes to vote tomorrow night, and that is wrong. It is not public, it is not transparent, and it does not follow due process," says Arnold-Jones. The neighborhood association last met on December 4 and the bill was announced over a week later. Albuquerque city councilor works to revamp housing voucher program As a former city councilor, Arnold-Jones believes that this bill lacks transparency. "I learned that you have to take the time to hear the citizens, because my perspective of what is happening may differ greatly from yours. And we need to figure out where's the common ground, and when we do that, the citizens of Albuquerque win," she says. The bill aims to increase housing along the ART route as well as main street corridors like 4th  Street and Broadway through zoning changes to allow more multi-family developments and new restrictions on how those projects can be appealed. "So, by gently increasing, by allowing a gentle increase in density in those areas, we can try and help start to address the housing crisis that we're facing," said Brandi Thompson, Operations Chair of Strong Town's Albuquerque. The Inter-Coalition Council has also thrown its hat in the ring saying that "this bill is not about affordable housing or homelessness; its intent is to disenfranchise members of the public, enrich the development community, and concentrate power amongst fewer elected officials." They add that this ordinance violates the "New Mexico Civil Rights Act." If the bill is passed, it can still be vetoed by the mayor.
