The cap is coming down!

Time to appeal!

Not everyone who is low income is a criminal. This is exactly your problem, you're a snob and you like to stereotype.

“Not everyone who is low income is a criminal.”

True, but the statistics regarding where violent criminal activity happens are pretty unassailable. That is not politically correct to say, but that does not preclude it from being true.

Saratoga, watch out! That wealthy community also does not have enough low income housing. Jerry Brown: is that your next target?

Steve B: you opposed the development of mansions by your house. Looks like you get your wish, get ready for some low income folks as neighbors - where is Ayala? Oh and the Pleasanton resident who started all this, Sandra De Gregorio, is this what she wanted?

hi everybody! you have a choice, more "illegals" or African American as your new neighbors!

may i ask what it is you don't appreciate about the above populations?

how about a few Haitians thrown in? hmmmmmmmmmmm...

as soon as things get rollin', i'll do my best to spread the good news!

signed,

Juan Bautista de Anza, King of the Tee Hee Hee! VIVA!

ps it seems to me that the matter is settled and if you have any complaints, call Pablito or La Wanna Keisha...at your service!

PING!

"The city is in clear violation" of the state housing law, the judge said.

That says it all. And it was a long time coming.

$500,000 for a house makes no sense and finally we are going to get some downward pressure on prices.

"At least three-quarters of them must be affordable for low-to-moderate-income residents."

It is the right thing to do to enforce this. Homeownership is important and we need to do everything we can to encourage it. People are still having trouble meeting downpayment requirements and it is time to do something to help out with this too.

Fifteen years ago we moved here to get away from low-income schools and unsafe neighborhoods. True, not all low-income people are creating crime issues. But the town will change in tone and safety if we add a lot of low income homes. Is that what we paid for? I think not.

This town has tried to create an atmosphere of upper middle class lifestyles. That will change if the housing cap goes away. Is that what we want? I think not.

Maybe my geography is a little fuzzy, but is there really that much space left to build??? I guess there is room in the Hacienda BP or out Vineyard way, but other than that what's left?...Oh, I know...HIGH RISE like they wanted to do in Dublin.
Don't worry about a crush of "low income uneducated" people seeking the "good life" because after the collapse of the banking system, and make no mistake about it...it did collapse, those "magical" loans that the Sandler's and World Savings gave out will not be available. Low income housing in Pleasanton will not be like low income housing elsewhere in the Bay Area.
But, again geographically, where would this housing go? As if our traffic isn't bad enough already, lets let more people pollute the valley.?.??..

I think that the city needs to consider building on top of churches.
