Housing

We cannot allow our successes to make Atlanta prohibitively expensive for long-time residents or those that make our city run.  Great cities are inclusive, diverse and accessible for everyone.  If we have ample affordable housing across the city, we take cars off the road, make it easier to run a business, and improve everyone’s quality of life.

Amir's Solutions

Amir Farokhi believes that a successful Atlanta will:

• Define affordable housing and conduct an impact study to match demand with supply.
• Promote affordable housing in mixed income areas in every part of the city.
• Strengthen its inclusionary zoning guidelines.
• Provide tax incentives for teachers, police officers and firefighters to buy a home in Atlanta.
• Freeze property taxes on senior citizens.
