      Serious problems with this graph. “Total jobs” and “new jobs” are two completely different things. A 2000-job building doesn’t add 2000 new jobs. Second, does it take into account that “new housing” ALSO REMOVES JOBS, such as the AMD campus re-zoning to 1000 units of housing?

      good point to subtract conversions. the office space doesn't reflect all new jobs to the economy but it does mean new jobs clustering locally.

      But the whole graph is just click-bait in its own way, in that it’s presented as the cause of the problem, when it’s just a symptom. It suggests that Council approvals are what drives this problem getting worse. But city planning isn’t done project-by-project.

      Planning is done through the development of the General Plan. That plan says, parcel-by-parcel, “here’s what we intend to allow in the city in the worst case. And if this is all done, it will result in this jobs/housing ratio, these infrastructure demands, traffic impacts, etc.”

      Council votes reflect the implementation of individual pieces of the General Plan - and Sunnyvale rarely allows things to go beyond what the GP permits. This is a good and fair process, because you get actual urban planning and owners know what they can do with their property.

      So if this graph shows a bad trend, then it’s not that Council is breaking the GP or making things worse. It’s that property owners are choosing not to develop their property in balance with what the GP intends. AND NOBODY IS ASKING THE QUESTION WHY.

      Is it because the General Plan depends on residential property being infilled in ways that just won’t realistically happen - single-family neighborhoods requiring property aggregation before large projects can be attempted?

      Is it because market forces are blowing things totally out of proportion? Is it because administrative processes or mindsets are more lenient to commercial development than housing? I say this because Sunnyvale is a city where Council and the PC rarely say no to projects.

      Is it because Sunnyvale’s fee schedules are hindering housing development to a much greater extent than commercial development? Or is it simply the cost to acquire land in Sunnyvale adversely affecting one of the two?

      But I have yet to see any serious effort to get into WHY housing builders aren’t building as much as commercial. This requires a serious, in-depth discussion with housing developers and commercial developers, to get at the root of why one is so much more active than the other.

      maybe @rolandlisf, who also covers commercial, has some thoughts here. My sense is that commercial runs into far less opposition and process than residential and also the fees are lower.... ? or @markasaurus or @eparillon

          Unfortunately I'm not a Sunnyvale expert, but generally I'm hearing offices are more profitable than housing, and more attractive for cities' tax bases. Offices are moving forward in SF, while much housing is stalled because of construction costs. https://www.sfchronicle.com/business/article/San-Francisco-passes-New-York-to-become-world-s-13760541.php …pic.twitter.com/tiYhcVL4xw

          I think the discussion of what's more profitable (office or housing) tough... It is very idiosyncratic to the submarket, timing, and the site (and ownership profile of the site!) itself.

          We need to hear this directly from the housing providers. My experience is that housing developers have a hell of a time aggregating property, due to a combination of land cost and availability. If that’s the case, then the focus should be on industry-to-residential conversion.
