"Lower the Cost of Living in Alexandria: Reform Zoning and Boost Affordable Housing Now!"

The Issue

Housing prices in Alexandria, Virginia, are spiraling out of control. Families, young people, seniors, and essential workers are being priced out of the city they call home. If Alexandria continues down this path, it risks becoming a place only the wealthy can afford a betrayal of its history and values.

Our Demands:
We, the residents of Alexandria and supporters of affordable living, demand that the Alexandria City Council: Accelerate Zoning Reforms

Legalize duplexes, triplexes, and townhouses across the city to create more affordable options.
Increase Funding for Affordable Housing

Commit to raising the Affordable Housing Fund by at least 20% in the next city budget.
Fast-Track Affordable Housing Development

Cut red tape and prioritize permit approvals for affordable housing projects over luxury developments.
Why This Matters:
Housing is a basic need, not a luxury.
Without bold action, Alexandria will lose its diversity, its workforce, and its future.
City leaders must act now to protect our community from runaway costs.

We, the undersigned, call on the Alexandria City Council to make affordable housing a top priority — immediately.
