Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve hosted a town hall focused on housing at Renown Medical Center last night. Schieve says that most people want affordable housing but the problem is that most don’t want it in their neighborhoods.

Several topics related to housing were discussed including student loan debt, low wages, a shrinking labor workforce and increasing supply costs. The mayor says in the coming weeks she is rolling out a new housing initiative that will bring product to the market in a shorter period of time.
