Housing- Lets Get Serious!
A statement by Brandon Collins, Socialist Party Candidate for Charlottesville City Council (Virgina)
06 July 2011
Every person has the right to live in safe home that they can afford. In Charlottesville, too many people pay way too much to rent their own homes, too many are too far behind in their rent payments.
