Palo Alto City Hall will have hearings tonight at 7pm about the future of development in Palo Alto. This hearing began on Monday and you can read more about it here: http://www.paloaltoonline.com/news/2014/08/05/new-voices-join-palo-altos-growth-debate

So far, the overwhelming majority of opinions that the Council has heard have urged for no new residential or commercial development.

I reside and work in Palo Alto and I know I'm not the only one disheartened that it's almost impossible for people to live and work in the same place, much less the elderly and those in need of housing assistance. I'm also disappointed that there has been a failure to recognize that the housing shortage and increased rents have been caused by protectionist development policies and not by "evil tech workers."

I encourage everyone to come out and have their voice heard. It seems that the we have been quiet for far too long.
