Making Clark County More Affordable by Building More Homes, Faster
A home you can actually afford, and a rent that does not eat your paycheck.
In one of the toughest housing markets in the country.
The median home price in Clark County has climbed to nearly $490,000, pushing ownership out of reach for working families, seniors, and young professionals who grew up here. Rent has tracked the same direction. This isn't a future risk it's already reshaping who can afford to stay in the neighborhoods they grew up in, and it's tightly connected to the same permitting and zoning delays that slow down small business.
Every month a housing project sits in plan review or waits on a zoning hearing adds carrying costs that get passed straight into the eventual price or rent. The county doesn't set wages or mortgage rates, but it does control how fast land gets approved to build on and that speed has a direct, measurable effect on supply.
Manny's approach is supply-first: cut the delays that add months and dollars to every new housing project, and measure success in homes actually built and occupied each year not announcements, not groundbreakings, not promises. Less talk about affordability, more units on the ground, tracked the same honest way he wants permits tracked.
Manny's Five Action Items.
1.
Cut permitting and zoning delays that add months and dollars to every housing project.
2.
Measure success by homes actually built and occupied each year, not approvals or announcements.
3.
Expand housing supply across price points, not just luxury or high-end development.
4.
Identify and clear county-level bottlenecks that slow multifamily and starter-home construction.
5.
Report supply numbers publicly and on a regular schedule, the same way he wants permits tracked.
