Portsmouth HeraldIncumbent Democratic state Rep. Gerald W.R. Ward is being challenged by Republican Alan Forbes for the New Hampshire House seat representing Rockingham County District 27 (Portsmouth Ward 4). The state can work to increase the supply of housing by making it easier for investors to build new housing. Enforcing "affordable" housing is not the solution; every public housing project I've seen is a disaster because the incentive structure is wrong. Private property owners care greatly about their homes, but public housing residents (generally) do not. N.H. voters recently passed by an overwhelming majority an amendment to the state Constitution enshrining the right to privacy.
