Campbell expands housing policy over commission’s opposition
Campbell is adjusting its affordable housing policy in hopes of creating more homes and raking in more development funds, despite an official recommendation not to.

Op-ed: Pleasant Hills can be something we’re proud of

Increasing availability by building more housing, not just affordable housing but also market rate and luxury housing, is imperative to improving the affordability of our city.
