I'd be thrilled if that's not blocked and allowed to be built (and there's a real chance I could end up in one of them). I don't really want more taxes - I want more supply. I'm just not sure how to get that since as you said I have no leverage and people fight supply. I thought tax could be a way to get that incentive/leverage. Ultimately I'm a lot happier with things like what you linked and hope we see more of them. Also, if my early combative tone didn't scare you off I'd be happy to grab coffee post covid. I've been in Palo Alto 8yrs and it's nice to meet neighbors. Plus in-person conversation is always more pleasant (and I miss Joanie's).

It’s been approved for a while. If anything the 85 townhomes will be blocked by housing activists who want to build 249 below market rate or low income housing. And then the townhouse guys will be to the below market rate apartment people what the bungalow folks are to them. And the band marches on. Taxes are never a good way to resolve what communities can plan. Big govt is like The Devil. The devil’s share will always be bigger than what trickles down to the people. Because. Care and feeding of the creature is expensive. I am not easily scared!! Let’s meet up. (Altho, not a PA’ian!) My email is my handle at gmail. Perhaps we can meet up at my farm after lockdown/holidays. Good luck! It will all work out fine and to your satisfaction. You just have to be patient and bid your time...:)
