Housing

Restoring Home Rule: Shifrin strongly opposes state-level preemption that overrides local municipal authority. He argues that home rule has been systematically eroded by state cuts and legislative actions over the past 15 years, and he pledges to fight to restore the ability of local communities to decide their own growth and zoning rules.

Infrastructure and transportation

Infrastructure Investment: He recognizes aging infrastructure and capacity strains as premier challenges resulting from Florida's rapid population growth, advocating for targeted state funding to upgrade regional public systems.
