Gina Baxter Focuses on Affordable Housing in City Council Race

Supports affordable housing, redesigning public transportation, and capping short-term rentals within city limits.

Supports “common sense solutions” for housing and urban development, including affordable housing, public transportation redesign, and capping short-term rentals.

Believes affordable housing is a major need, citing a friend's experience of working full-time but still needing to move back home due to housing costs.

Believes affordable housing is a "major need."

The candidate's website says, "During my time at UNCG, we bought a house about two blocks from the first house I ever rented, and we got in just under the wire for the housing boom that was coming. We just knew we couldn’t keep paying rent as we watched it skyrocket, so we got a first time home buyers’ loan and closed on our house just a month before COVID hit. Throughout my whole life here in Hendersonville I have been so supported by our amazing community, and we have all been through a lot together, and now I feel that it is my time to give back through a role of public service."

Said, "People who have lived and worked here their whole lives are being pushed out because of the lack of affordable housing."
