Imagine if we could build houses faster, cheaper, and with less waste—while also creating jobs right here in Fresno. That’s exactly what this plan is about. 🔧 What is a 3D printed house? A 3D printed house is made using a giant machine (kind of like a super-sized 3D printer) that builds the walls of a home layer by layer using concrete or eco-friendly materials. 💡 The Problem Right now in Fresno: Housing is too expensive Too many people are homeless Construction takes too long and costs too much 🚀 The Solution As a city council member, I want to: Build a 3D home manufacturing plant in Fresno Use it to produce affordable homes quickly Focus on housing for working families and the homeless 👷♂️ Why this helps Fresno 1. More Affordable Housing 3D printed homes cost way less to build That means cheaper rent and more people can afford a place to live 2. Faster Solutions to Homelessness Homes can be built in days or weeks instead of months We can get people off the streets much faster 3. Local Jobs The manufacturing plant creates good-paying jobs Training programs can help young people learn new tech skills 4. Less Waste, Cleaner City 🌱 Traditional construction wastes a lot of materials 3D printing uses only what’s needed, reducing landfill waste 🎯 The Big Idea Instead of spending years and millions on slow housing projects, Fresno can lead the future by building smarter, faster, and more efficiently.
Over the last couple of years, Fresno has had a lot of money scandals: Over $1.5 million meant for parks and art was stolen from the Fresno Arts Council Millions lost in scams, fraud, and fake deals Public money going missing or being misused 👉 That’s money that was supposed to help the community. 🤔 So What’s the Real Problem? It’s not just bad people. It’s a bad system that: Doesn’t track money well Isn’t transparent Doesn’t catch problems early 🛠️ My Plan to Fix It- 1. 👀 Let Everyone See Where Money Goes Right now, most people can’t see how the city spends money. Fix: Create a public website where anyone can check: What the city is spending Who approved it What it’s for 👉 Think of it like checking your bank app—but for city money. 2. ⛓️ Use Blockchain (Like a Permanent Receipt System) What is Blockchain? It’s a system where: Every transaction is recorded Nothing can be deleted or changed Everyone can see it Why It Matters: If Fresno used this: That $1.5M theft would’ve been much harder to hide Suspicious activity would be obvious 👉 Think of it like a Google Doc that no one can secretly edit—and everyone can see changes instantly 3. 📊 Check the Money More Often (Audits) Right now, checks happen too late. Fix: Check city finances every few months Have outside experts review everything 👉 Like a teacher checking your work before the final exam—not after. 4. 💸 Stop Wasting Money Right now, the city keeps funding things automatically. Fix: Every department must: Explain why they need money Prove it actually helps people 👉 No more “we’ve always done it this way.” 5. 🔐 Prevent Scams Before They Happen Fresno lost millions to scams and fraud. Fix: Require multiple approvals for big payments Train workers to spot scams Use technology to detect suspicious activity 👉 Basically: treat taxpayer money like it actually matters. 6. 🗣️ Protect People Who Speak Up Sometimes people inside the government see problems but stay quiet. Fix: Let them report issues anonymously Protect them from getting in trouble 👉 Like a safe way to report cheating without getting targeted.
Think of it like this: You’ve got different levels of authority: Federal government State government City government Usually, cities just follow orders from above. A Constitutional Sanctuary City flips that a bit and says: “We’re not going to use our city’s money, police, or resources to enforce laws that violate people’s constitutional rights.” ⚖️ What does that actually mean? It means the city is putting rights over rules. So if a law or policy: Violates free speech Ignores due process Invades privacy Is unfair or abusive The city can say: “We’re not helping enforce that.” 👮 How it affects policing Police would focus on: Violent crime Theft Keeping neighborhoods safe Instead of: Acting like federal agents Enforcing controversial policies that don’t help the community Targeting people over technical or non-violent issues This can actually build more trust between people and police. 💰 How it affects money Cities have limited budgets. So instead of spending money helping enforce outside mandates, the idea is: Keep that money local Invest in things that actually help people: Housing Infrastructure Community programs 🧠 The bigger idea It’s really about this question: “Should a city blindly follow every rule from higher government… or stand up when something seems unconstitutional?” A Constitutional Sanctuary City says: “We follow the Constitution first — not just orders.” 🔥 Why people support it Different people like it for different reasons: Some see it as protecting civil rights Some see it as pushing back against government overreach Some see it as keeping power local Some just like the idea of fairness and accountability Being a Constitutional Sanctuary City means Fresno won’t help enforce laws that violate people’s rights — and will focus on protecting the people who live here.
