Multi story housing construction is currently everywhere in Mtn. View. Why doesn't Palo Alto Housing use their funds to build low income housing in Palo Alto rather than Mtn. View?! Smells like NIMBY -- do your share Palo Alto.

I use El Camino for many commuting trips. But I think the future increased public bus service, and the social benefit of this project are worth the public money and the waivers of some development requirements.

This is good news. I regret the exemptions--exceeding height and setback rules, and lack of common-use open areas--but agree with the Council they are justified for this low-rent development.

Is this the City Council's response to rent increases that threaten to vanquish half of the city's current residents? 67 new units at undisclosed rent levels.Just great.

So a cost of 28 million dollars divided by 67 units comes to more than $400,000 per unit. If we were going to truly solve the affordable housing shortage, there would need to be a way to have housing which is truly affordable, not just a token number of subsidized units. I wonder how much of the cost is for the land versus the actual construction cost.
