The Half Moon Bay planning commission has reluctantly approved a 40-unit housing complex for retired, low-income senior farm workers in downtown Half Moon Bay after a protracted debate. The project, backed by Governor Gavin Newsom, faced opposition from planning commissioners over issues such as a communal kitchen and two-bedroom units. Despite these objections, the project moved forward following a strongly worded threat of legal action from Newsom over the delays. The approval came late Tuesday night after a city planning meeting stretched late into the night.

This is American planning in a nutshell. Half Moon Bay commissioners are making infeasible low income housing for farm workers over bullshit parking. I've driven to Half Moon Bay, there is not a parking shortage and many of the farm workers will use SamTrans! https://t.co/pBA4Qjrzyu
