“...we’re short 250,000 housing units, that means that there’s 250,000 families that don’t have a home, why then instead of making it easier and less expensive to build housing are we making it harder and more expensive to build housing?”

Wilcox for conversation about the state of the House and many of the vital aspects impacting property rights and access to affordable housing in Washington State.
