Neal Carter, R-San Tan Valley, said that, as a matter of personal philosophy, he generally opposes regulations on what people can do with their property.
In a Twitter post, Mesa Republican Rep. Jacqueline Parker described the package as"horrible, suburb-destroying bills.'' "Ultimately, I think members just want to slow down and really work on a better product during the interim and then run something in January,'' Kaiser said."I think a lot of them were a little bit uncomfortable with just how fast everything was moving and how complex the issues are.''
"When we earn constituents' votes, those come with accountability,'' Hernandez said."So constituents need to ask their legislators why they are voting 'no' on affordable housing measures and measures that will ultimately bring affordable housing in the middle of a crisis.'' "The private sector can't respond to the market quick enough when demand increases,'' Kamps said, with the problem being local regulations. He said the result is an"artificial spike in pricing because of the supply.''
