Just say yes to SB 50-excellent article- points out the race based -call it white supremacy driven- if you will —opposition to SB 50 by the predominantly white and wealthy cities of Palo Alto and Menlo Park—while majority minority communities like East Palo Alto —continue to support SB 50’s call for more housing for low income people of color and the poor.

Mandatory reading: For all three city councils: East Palo Alto, Menlo Park & Palo Alto—as you prepare for tomorrow’s joint study session on SB 50 -I highly recommend the below article. The article captures the core issues to this important debate in a clear and concise manner.
