Interesting - another guest editorial from Menlo Together - First Karen Grove, now Rachel Horst.

Where does Menlo Together stand on Senator Weiner’s Bill, SB 90, that would take away local control and authority in approving the densification of Housing stock within a half mile of train stations and bus routes?

@SB 90 appears to have the wrong bill number. It sounds like s/he is referring to SB 50:

"Today, Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) announced the introduction of Senate Bill 50: the More HOMES Act (Housing, Opportunity, Mobility, Equity, and Stability). SB 50 creates new zoning standards for the construction of housing near job centers and public transportation, while protecting against the displacement of renters and vulnerable communities living in those areas. SB 50 eliminates hyper-low-density zoning near transit and job centers, thus legalizing apartment buildings in these locations so that more people can live near transit and near where they work. It also reduces or eliminates minimum parking requirements for new developments."

"Far worse, some of our neighborhoods are losing residents at an alarming rate"
