Demand Cupertino City Council Stop Delaying Affordable Housing At Vallco
The SB-35 Vallco Project, which will include 2,400 UNITS OF HOUSING! (1,200 of which are affordable/BMR), was approved nearly 3 years ago, yet the City has not permitted ANY construction yet—greatly delaying the prospect of affordable housing in Cupertino. Now, the City Council seems willing to put us in legal jeopardy in the name of stopping the project. It claims that the original SB-35 permit will expire in September (this month), meaning that the whole process would have start over AGAIN.
Let's call it what it is—BS. We need you to write in letters and give public comment Tuesday 9/7 night (it's the last item on the agenda.) It should not take our city this long to take action on housing! This is unacceptable
