Mayor Grades Redwood City on Affordable Housing

Mayor Jeff Ira says Redwood City, compared to neighboring cities, provides several options for residents and that no one housing project can solve the housing need.

Though Affordable Housing Week ended last week, housing is a topic always on Bay Area residents' minds. As one of the most expensive places to live in the country, below market housing is an absolute need for Redwood City residents.

Current development proposals in Redwood City include the Bair Island Renovation project, the development on the old Mel's Bowl site, and the development on the old Dodge dealership.

But, Ira said, "It's never enough."
