I agree that bold moves are required. Our socially liberal but fiscally conservative community has a hard time with moving beyond rhetoric. NIMBY has a strong hold in our community. I am not cynical about such change, but it's hard not to be pessimistic.

<<But supervisors appear receptive to the option of a bond measure – a strategy that is gaining favor in neighboring counties, including Santa Clara County, whose voters will be asked to approve a $950 million bond this fall.>>
Another bond issue on top of the recent school bonds? That would certainly drive more low income seniors out of our neighborhoods.

The only long term solution is for the cities to stop welcoming those "job generating high tech companies".
