HOUSING SUPPLY AND RENTAL RULES
OneCity on housing
This is the largest published housing number on the 2026 ballot. OneCity commits to 4,000 affordable homes built on land the city already owns.
Building on city land is the lever a council actually controls directly, because the city does not have to buy the land first.
OneCity’s site said a full platform was coming when we checked on September 22, 2026, so no timeline, cost or site list has been published alongside the 4,000 figure.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Questions about this
Is 4,000 homes a lot?
It is the largest housing number published by any party in this election. OneCity has not published a timeline, a cost or a list of sites alongside it, so there is no way yet to check whether it is achievable in one four-year term.
