City of Santa Fe

Santa Fe is considering adopting a “mansion tax,” or an extra tax on homebuyers of houses over $1 million. The would go to the city’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund, which supports new housing projects and efforts to keep residents in their homes.

Similar proposals have proved controversial. Last year a proposal for an encampment at Santa Fe’s Midtown Campus was abandoned after opposition from nearby residents.

A new Rain Garden in downtown Santa Fe will divert storm runoff from East Alameda Street into a series of tiered pools between the sidewalk and the Santa Fe River where it will slow down, get filtered, and soak in before flowing into the river.

Santa Fe is in desperate need of more housing, especially homes that are affordable to its working-class. Homewise, a non-profit that helps people with home ownership, wants to purchase an open lot where they’d build 160 homes, but neighbors say the project is not what they were promised.
