I'm sure that there will be plenty of sound and fury ... and that it will ultimately signify nothing.
Our government has no serious desire to address this problem, so all anyone (or any realist, at least) should expect is more window dressings that help like five people and do nothing to address the underlying structural problems.

Just an Observation,
Since the City has failed to produce a housing element plan, the STATE will take over the process.
The STATE laws will increase MANDATORY INCLUSIVE HOUSING REQUIREMENTS.
The STATE will ELIMINATE IN LIEU fees for affordable units.
The City SHOULD have addressed this problem for the last 15 years since I moved here in 2007. But the city refused to take responsibility. So the City will be taken out of the process.

@Steve Goldstein. // your simple but concise Observation I think is correct
// so ... if you could keep this simple but correct Focus during an appointed term in office ...
// please finish the forms and actually APPLY
[if you do a poor job - you would not get (re) elected for a second term]
The (policy) power of a Council position, in this council-manager form of city government, is a significant fraction (1/3) of the majority needed to effect policy changes (3/5). In other words, you would only have to vote with 2 other members of the legislature - to effect policy change.
