Editor,

I am very disappointed with the San Carlos City Council for its stance on the affordable housing crisis that looms over us on the Peninsula.

Unfortunately, Ms. Levine, due to high housing costs and fees, developers are happier to build commercial buildings instead of affordable housing. Owners of single family homes have shown themselves to be unwilling to carve up their homes – a potentially bigger headache, especially if their property taxes are reassessed to current home values.

The Dems passed SB 9 on a voice vote because they knew it stunk. SB 9 exempts hundreds of state environmental and safety laws and will ruin our neighborhoods in the interest of political expediency. Like the HRS it will line the pockets of Democrat for decades. Democrats should have voted instead to use HSR funds to build high speed mass transit to ares where housing prices are far lower. This would also take some of the pressure off Bay area housing prices.
