Half Moon Bay Farmworker Housing to Go Forward After Council Rejects Appeals | KQED
Briefly

The lengthy approval process has delayed the timeline significantly, making it difficult for developers to access essential funding. 'We're thankful that the determination of the community and the spirit allowed us to continue to move forward,' said Kelly Hollywood of Mercy Housing.
Opponents of the apartment project argue it threatens to alter the essence of the community. They express concerns about increased traffic congestion and the strain it could put on local parking availability.
The approval process has witnessed significant public debate, and Gov. Gavin Newsom's involvement highlights the political dynamics. He described the delays as 'egregious,' emphasizing the pressing need for housing solutions in the area.
The development, designed for low-income farmworkers, aims to address the pressing housing crisis. With community support, the construction is expected to provide essential resources and support for this marginalized group.
