Does Bill Sizemore help reduce homelessness and create affordable housing?

Yes, if the Ballot Measure 63 passes.

Oregon Ballot Measure 63 (IRR 21) is an initiated state statute that will appear on the November 4, 2008 ballot in Oregon. It allows homeowners to make improvements costing less than $35,000 to their home/real estate without first obtaining a building permit.
Specific provisions

The exemption would apply for changes to existing residential or farm structures and for building new farm structures that will not be lived in by people.
Changes would not be exempt if the total value of changes in a year to a given structure exceeded $35,000.
The addition of a story to an existing residential structure would not be exempt from building, plumbing, electrical and mechanical permit requirements.
Measure 63 would not allow an addition that violates uniformly applied requirements for property line setbacks or that violates regulations establishing reasonable, uniformly applied limitations on the height of a building.
Electrical wiring work would not be exempt unless performed or inspected by a licensed electrical contractor.
A property owner could not accept an offer-to-purchase the property without giving the purchaser a detailed description of changes made to the property.

Rents are already high in Oregon, often beyond the reach of low-income and working-class Oregonians. Many are now forced to choose between paying the rent and paying for gas and food. Numerous government red tapes, zoning regulations and building codes work to reduce the availability of affordable housing. When landlords are required to obtain expensive inspection and permit every time when they need to fix their apartments or rental houses those costs are naturally passed down to tenants.

Opponents of the M63 cite concerns about homebuyers; pre-transfer inspection is done exactly for that reason. With or without the permits M63 are about to eliminate, houses will still be inspected when they are sold to new owners.

Measure 63 will let property owners upgrade and improve their own homes while helping lower the skyrocketing cost of housing.

That is much more humane than forcing more people onto freeway underpass, bridges, doorways and sidewalks.

Vote yes on Measure 63 if you care about freedom and human rights.
