Vote Simone for Falls Church City Council~ Big Changes for The Little City
I am 23 years old and have lived in Falls Church since I was 7. I believe that Falls Church City is ready to enact real and lasting change. If elected, I will focus on making our community more sustainable and establish FC as a safe and welcoming place for everyone:
- In order to downsize our city’s carbon footprint, a shift towards renewable energy is needed. Implementing renewable energy in all our city’s buildings where it is possible is a great first step.
- Teachers should be able to live where they teach. Police officers should live in the communities they serve. This can only happen if we make housing affordable on their budgets.
- Affordable housing initiatives are a crucial step in pursuing racial equity and equalizing the playing field in our community.
- Local businesses are what make Falls Church City so special. We need to take steps to support existing local businesses and attract more local business in the future.
- We need a city council willing to stand up to big developers. During the 2008 financial crisis, the city repeatedly agreed to developers requests to reduce the space for businesses and increase residential space in new buildings, which robbed us of an opportunity to earn revenue through something other than property taxes. We can't let the COVID-19 crisis lead to the same phenomenon. City council must stand up to any developer requests to revise approved plans. Route 7 is a major traffic artery inside the Beltway. Commercial real estate there will not lose value over time, and we shouldn't panic as if it will.
- Predatory parking and speeding tickets that target residents are annoying for white folks and a legitimate concern for our citizens of color. Focusing on community building and increasing social services personnel to deal with non-emergencies, as well as scaling back these predatory measures—especially considering how safe our city is—are vital to the future of our city.
Falls Church City is unique in our location and size, and I believe we have the ability to pave the way for what small cities should be like. Let's do better.
