This being a measure voted in a newly created special district that spans across 6 counties, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) is hosting its own web page to keep track of the votes on the measure.

The measure requires a simple majority (> 50%) of votes to pass.

So far, things look positive for the measure passing across all counties, well over 50% in every county,

As of the time of writing, the lowest being Santa Clara County with 53.82% Yes, the highest being San Francisco with 77.7% Yes.

I think it's gonna pass.

San Diego already getting pretty smashed up. I think the bay area generally has steeper shores than down south, but its gonna get rough I think.

Just beware of flooding this season.

Be careful out there folks!

Down with King George!

Open floor plans definitely don't work well with multiple people. But they are good for hosting and/or if you live by yourself.

Not a bad idea, but sometimes you also have to rejigger the HVAC.

then put in a wall or something?

upwards of 2,500 square-feet with an open-concept floor plan,

Ugh, I hate open floor plans. "Honey, could you be a little more quiet making dinner 40 feet away, I'm trying to watch TV!" "Well, I want to talk to Maureen while I'm cooking!" "Never mind, I'll watch on my tablet in the bedroom!"

Seems like a trend that people quickly realized was a bad idea.

Especially considering a 4 bedroom in SF is probably going to have an occupancy of at least 8.

Households with at least three to four people that meet "very low" to "low" income requirements may qualify to enter Walnut Creek's below-market rate homeownership program.

The newly constructed homes are more than 2,000 square-feet in size and have three to four bedrooms. The cost of each home ranges from $262,750 to $377,000, according to the city.

The city's program is run by the nonprofit Bay Area Affordable Homeownership Alliance in partnership with the Community Housing Development Corporation and Mechanics Bank. The bank will provide additional down payment assistance subsidies and a loan subsidy to qualified buyers.

Newly constructed homes, even.

Noice!

where does poop go.

Some photos from the article.

Wow Elizabeth Burr is a miserable sack of shit. Thats not even an argument, it’s just “ewww I don’t like it”. I’ve known 2 year olds with more maturity.

If only someone would post an article addressing this very predictable question! It is a shame no one has ever discussed this anywhere. I guess we may never know...

Elizabeth Burr, a Menlo Park resident who lives near the site, told the Chronicle she supports adding housing but opposes the project’s height and its hotel and office components.

“We want housing. But 665 homes don’t need a 39-story tower as tall as the Great Pyramid of Egypt — luxury offices and a five-star hotel do,” she said. “Build the housing, lose the rest.”

tl;dr: of course garden-variety California NIMBYism.

Why would someone even be opposed to this?

On the one hand, that type of housing complex does sound heinous. On the other hand though… fuck Menlo Park.

That many MAHA and MAGA? - or just normal lack of basic healthcare for the homeless?

Stay safe and get your shots people!

Yet for the life of me, they never have green tea anywhere, at any store or outlet I visit.

Guy’s been in jail since July 2026 thankfully. Pure anti-society behavior, they should not release him.

Swastikkkar

Or social media parasocial derangement.

The guy was obviously more interested in getting clicks than helping the burning victims of the crash that he caused, and continued the same patterns after the crash.

“On December 2, 2025 at around 10:40 a.m., defendant was driving his red Tesla Model Y on Highway 87 northbound in San Jose in excess of 142 miles per hour. He ultimately crashed and killed two people in a fiery explosion. His actions before and after the crash are critical in understanding his ongoing dangerousness to the public.”

The guy is a complete PoS.

Probably has wealth-induced psychopathy.
