Asheville City Council Candidate John Miall

City council elections will be happening in Asheville this fall. Right now there are 16 candidates in the field. On October 6th there will be a primary to narrow the field to 6 candidates vying for 3 seats. The general election will take place on November 3rd to elect these new city council representatives. 

Asheville SHAC posed the following question to all 16 candidates: 

"What's your position on increasing density / affordable housing in Asheville via micro housing?" 

In the time leading up to the election we will share the candidates' answers in the order in which they respond. If you're a resident of the city of Asheville we encourage you to vote in October and November.

*SHAC as an organization does not endorse any specific candidate, though our individual members may. The candidates' answers will be provided for informational purposes only.

Here is answer from city council candidate John Miall. 

Thank you, Laura for asking. I have not taken a "formal" stand on this nor have I been asked to previously. I think density is going to be driven by our geography, and limits to growth imposed by Raleigh on future annexations. Small Homes as you know are already here, and I think can be a part of the housing solution we all seek.
