.... We
need affordable housing. It’s time to stop saying, 'Not in my
backyard'. It’s time to say, 'I am responsible for my neighbor.' If
we don’t, we will become a community of the selfish, well-to-do and
insulated elderly. We need our young people to stay and work here
instead of driving them away. Any healthy community accommodates those
who will serve the basic needs of those lucky enough to hire them. And,
most important, a healthy community supports all of its members for the
good of all.
I urge all citizens to please become part of the solution. Let’s
build affordable housing here and now. Let’s get together and come up
with ideas that work. We will lose it all if we can’t see clearly that
compromise and generosity are necessary. We need a willingness to give
up a little of what we have to those whose need is so great. There are
good and practical solutions. It is a regional problem. Other towns have
come up with innovative, inexpensive and attractive approaches to solve
the problem. .... The response we need is YIMBY: 'Yes, In My Backyard'." Read article.

If you want affordable housing look outside California.
one of the biggest Pacifica affordable housing advocates is gloria stofan and she lives in Rockaway. I expect her to advocate affordable low income housing when the development in far east rockaway takes place. Nothing better than low income housing advocates walking the walk in their own neighborhood. Or better yet a second unit in their own houme...
Why would anyone advocate for more housing in Rockaway?
Chuck Gust said it best last week. You can't even turn your car around when the farmer's market is there.
Stofan is an anti Trump proponent of rent control and just cause eviction.
She has never been an advocate of more housing in Rockaway.
I feel for the people who can't afford the Bay Area cost of living, but whining, complaining, bitching about high rents in the highest housing cost in the country is worthless. If you can't afford the area move to a cheaper area. People not only want cake but they want ice cream and cherries. Move. Simple. Go out into the Central Valley. Get a smaller house or apartment, downsize.
Government assisted housing, is just warehousing the poor.
719, no people just want to be able to keep their kids in the same school, prevent their parents from getting evicted, and not be in a homeless shelter.

The federal government and our brilliant house and senate helped run up trillions in debt. The state was near bankruptcy during the economic panic and downfall in 2008, the State has come improved but they have a billion dollar pension shortfall.
Don't get me started about the fiscal mess Pacifica is in. The County of San Mateo has money but they won't bail Pacifica out.
The city leaders were in a coma for the past 35 years listening to the wise nimby leaders, John Curtis, Peter Loeb, Nancy Hall, and the rest of those vagabonds.
The city has done nothing to improve the BMI Below Medium Income housing in Pacifica. The money in town went to build trails, pet projects like Nancy Hall's Bio-Diesel plant, a million dollar frog pond at the police station. The last multi family rental property I have seen built is the small apartment building by the Golf Course.Pacifica has plenty of small infill lots around town, to build smaller BMI housing.
You can not mention build new housing or apartments in town, without the gang of no coming out and screaming traffic, too many people, we don't want to make our city look like any other city that has revenue.
