A recent ruling has struck down a 1996 initiative, approved by Pleasanton voters, which capped residential units in the town. The decision is also the first of its kind to bar a city from issuing building permits until more land is set aside for high density housing. We discuss the ruling and possible implications for other California towns.

Guests:

Richard A. Marcantonio, lead attorney for the plaintiffs in the Pleasanton case and managing attorney at Public Advocates, Inc., a nonprofit law firm and advocacy organization

Tom Pico, former mayor of Pleasanton (2000-2004)
