Charlotte City Council · City Council Business Meeting on 2026-02-09 5:00 PM - Feb 09, 2026 · 9 Feb 2026 meeting

When we look at the lights, we also have to have a real conversation about the individual that runs that light.

But also the fact that we have to stop

and not take that green light for granted.

We need to pause, look left and right, because the chances are greater that someone is gonna take the red light as a suggestion versus an actual stop.

But these are the ways to help us move forward in the conversation.

So I appreciate the work that the committee is doing and look forward to supporting however I can.

Thank you, Council Member Mayfield.

Council Member Ashby.

I did not cover the federal, but I'm sure you all can read that.

Council Member Johnson.

Thank you, Mayor Pro Tem.

And thank you, Councilwoman Owens, for just lifting that up.

I've talked to you about how practical you are, and I appreciate that.

I also have the approach, how can we say yes?

So when I look at the state legislative agenda, there are things that jump out to me that we don't ask for that we know would be helpful in our city, such as inclusionary zoning and impact fees.

those obvious things you'll see we don't ask for those because our historical approach has just been more politically correct and and sometimes that's i mean you kind of learn as you go along i i would love to push those forward but are they going to be approved that that's for council members more um experienced than me but i i agree with the with asking for what our constituents need i think that's our role

but we can talk about that offline.

But again, we went to Boston, and that was one of the cities that we were encouraged to learn from, and they have 20% inclusionary zoning.

Imagine if 20% of all of this explosive growth in inventory were mandated to be affordable.

So there's that.
