- The city once provided housing for nurses and residents, but has shifted away from acting as a landlord.
- Katz supports the idea of building housing for residents or integrating them into existing housing through vouchering.
- He suggests cities stopped providing their own housing due to the challenges of being landlords.

You know, I think the city at one time did housing for nurses and residents.

It's a model that, you know, I would support.

I would also support, you know, vouchering if the city does not wanna be in the business of being a landlord.

I think that was part of why historically most cities stopped doing their own housing.

So you could do it either way, you could build your own housing, or you could type in people into housing.
