The Absurdity of City funding only 8 units at the Habitat for Humanity proposed townhouse project that could easily acomodate 20 or more units on that parcel..

The parcel, opposite 101, with an easily rehab opportunity 5 unit rental bldg,  was bought and boarded up by MIdPen, and the City inanely deferred to a plan for 8 FOR SALE townhouse units, when this .3 acre parcel could easily accomodate at least 20 or more units next to the freeway, with 4 or more stories.
This is a blatant "abuse of discretion",  and waste of taxpayers dollars,  by Council,  to move forward with this half baked and underutilized waste of valuable real estate that could meet the needs of many more deserving low income renters.
Do a cost benefit analysis to optimize the propertys unrealized potential for a resource to provide dozens of affordable housing units.
