"Charlotte’s housing deficit is a crisis: 48% of renters spend over 30% of their income on rent, with studios averaging $1,100 (Apartments.com, 2025). Low-income families face eviction risks, with 1 in 10 households spending over 50% of income on housing"
No $25B tax hike, no $1.38B Red Line. My plan: $5M for free Routes 9, 11, 16 (600K–800K trips), $200M for buses and roads, $1.2–$1.5B Blue Line to Carowinds ($50–$100M for south Charlotte), and new ideas—BRT on Independence, microtransit for north Mecklenburg, TOD for walkable neighborhoods.Join me!
The $25B referendum favors suburbs over east Charlotte, burdening families with a 14% tax increase (7.25% to 8.25%). My plan delivers equity without new taxes. #NoTransitTax” #NoTransitTax#EquitableTransit
