Gregg Hart is a Santa Barbara County Supervisor, representing the 2nd Supervisorial District. He grew up in Santa Barbara, attended local public schools, and graduated from SBCC and UCSB. Gregg’s dedication to public service was inspired by his parents, who spent their lives working for the community: His mother worked as an elementary school teacher, and his father was the Library Director for the City and County of Santa Barbara.
Like many of our neighboring cities, Santa Barbara has a need for additional affordable housing. I support looking at all options to find solutions that will expand our portfolio of housing options for all economic levels. This includes mixed-use development, urban infill and responsible growth within the City. We must prioritize housing options that encourage the use of alternative transportation and are located within close proximity to local employers and businesses.
