      This is worse than Cupertino's previous RHNA cycle, 2007-2014, where they permitted only 12% of their lower income housing allocation.pic.twitter.com/6A9ah5G1WT

      While jobs and Jobs grew and grew in Cupertino, the housing stock did not. Cupertino Home Price: Zillow (Current Median Home Value) = $2,136,200 Trulia (Feb - May 2019 Median Sale Price) = $2,150,000 Coldwell Banker (Median Listing Price in Cupertino, CA) = $2,298,000pic.twitter.com/WqwSJxgmWa

      And as @SVatHome reports, Cupertino has about 14 low wage jobs for every unit affordable to someone making that income. And then they have the nerve to complain about traffic. Well, that's what happens when you have jobs but not housing....pic.twitter.com/lH9gvMJV4Y

      Into this anti-housing milieu lands a proposal to take the defunct Vallco Mall and transform it into a new community. Some might say it was an opportunity to meet state housing goals...pic.twitter.com/E30qOWLMyE

      Instead of embracing this epic proposal or trying to make it even more housing rich, Cupertino knuckled down for a battle. "Better Cupertino" to stop the project at any cost. And they would have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for those pesky YIMBYs.pic.twitter.com/sHri4nth8s

      Hearing after hearing. Meeting after meeting... And then we pass @Scott_Wiener's #SB35, forcing cities that have ignored their RHNA goals to streamline approvals for projects that are 50% Affordable. This forces Cupertino to stop playing around.https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.mercurynews.com/2018/09/20/cupertino-council-approves-alternative-plan-to-rebuild-vallco/amp/ …

      So, then there were options. The SB 35 project represents a floor, and the city of Cupertino is forced to try to do better. If Cupertino genuinely wanted a more housing-rich project, they could approve one.https://www.bisnow.com/silicon-valley/news/affordable-housing/cupertino-project-marks-first-bay-area-approval-through-streamlined-process-93178#ath …

      In hopes that they'll win the lawsuit, the city of Cupertino is planning to make sure NOTHING will ever happen at the dead Vallco Mall (barring a sudden resurgence of Jamba Juice).https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/06/17/state-senator-accuses-cupertino-of-trying-to-sink-vallco-project/ …

          "So i disagree with one comment that Councilmember Chang made earlier, which is 'you should put it where it’s going to get built.' I actually think you should put it where HCD will *approve* it and hope it’s NOT going to get built." "That’s called cheating."pic.twitter.com/hjzfGWK7k5

          Tomorrow, @penforeveryone, @SouthBayYIMBY, @yimbyaction and other activists will tell them it's wrong. @YIMBY_Law will tell them it's probably illegal. And likely Cupertino will do it anyway. This is why we need state laws like @NancySkinnerCA's #SB330.https://actionnetwork.org/letters/support-sb-330 …
