Clearly, Emily is more orientated toward lessening our (locally) homeless problem than Skov, and certainly doesn't advocate situations as you described, nor taking-on the nation's homeless problem.  She's also far more aware of the connection between the big developer tax exemptions and affordable housing.

Emily also opposes rezoning R1 neighborhoods (SW-SAZ), and advocates a community-driven process (refinement plan), rather than a top-down city forced policy.  

Meanwhile Skov has been silent, until the city finally shelved the SW-SAZ.  Then subsequently he followed the city, as expected, and said at the City Club debate on May 15th 2016, the community will need to be “deeply involved”, but he still hasn’t qualified his position on rezoning R-1 neighborhoods.  At the mayor's Sept 19th forum on the matter, Skov testified and I've never heard anybody say so much, and mean so little.

Emily will stand-up against Ruiz and the incompetent city staff far better than a city rubber-stamper.
