Dan believes that it is essential to our strength of our community to maintain a balance of housing types and affordability in Roseville.  He supports City efforts to understand our local housing market, and to target areas that are under-represented in our current market, with appropriate City assistance.  Such under-represented areas that have been identified in the past include affordable low-maintenance single-level townhomes and affordable multi-family rentals for all ages including seniors.

Dan supports housing development that can succeed in the marketplace and can be financed under existing Federal and State programs when including an affordable component, without ruling out innovative approaches where feasible.

Since taking office as a city council member in 2007, Dan has worked to make the City’s code enforcement system both fairer and more effective in keeping up Roseville property values for both residents and businesses.  On the council, he worked to put in place both the city council involvement in enforcement through approval of abatements as well as the Neighborhood Enhancement Program that educates property owners about code requirements and proactively helps resolve issues before they become complaints.

Dan favors City support and encouragement of grass roots development of neighborhood organizations as they might naturally occur.

One important City program supported and encouraged by Dan has been the Multi-Family Residential inspection and licensing program.  This program is designed to help ensure safe and quality housing both for residents and also in support of healthy surrounding neighborhoods through elimination of code violations and inappropriate tenant behaviors and activities.
