Sacramento Report: Maienschein on Housing Vote: ‘I Know I Did the Right Thing’ (voiceofsandiego.org)

 

San Diego Republican Assemblyman Brian Maienschein stopped by the VOSD Podcast this week to talk about his pivotal vote on Sen. Toni Atkins' SB 2, a bill that brings in new revenue to fund affordable housing via a fee on certain real estate documents.

On being the lone Republican Assembly vote on SB 2:

"It was a big vote. You know, any time you step out you're the only one on something, that's a tough vote. Candidly, I know I did the right thing. I feel very comfortable with it... I mean first off, I was the San Diego County commissioner on homelessness. This issue is very personal to me. It's not a hypothetical; I think for a lot of people, homelessness is sort of a hypothetical. But for me, you know I did it every day for four years and I was face to face with actual homeless people instead of some people who kind of opine from, you know, from behind the ivory tower."

Maienschein has been making the podcast rounds this week - he also appeared on Gimme Shelter, a California housing-focused podcast featuring our pal Liam Dillon.
