“Holistic Zoning would simplify zoning policy into easy-to-understand categories.”

León proposes simplified zoning intended to support housing, walkability, and small businesses.

“We need to humanize our unhoused neighbors, and we need to take a targeted approach to the problem.”

León supports affordability assistance, sobering centers, and targeted services rather than sweeps alone.

“Fully fund Portland Street Response so they can provide 24/7 city-wide coverage.”

León proposes expanding the unarmed crisis-response program.

“Transportation is not only a matter of public safety, it is at the heart of issues of equitability and inclusion.”

León supports protected biking, car-free plazas, traffic calming, and expanded transit hours.

“Investing heavily in re-wilding concrete lots for urban farming and food forests is a dual method to combat the effects of climate change”

León proposes urban rewilding, tree planting, and limits on resource-intensive data centers.
