People can park their RVs or oversized vans in sections of dedicated parking lots, as long as they agree to sign up for social services and support to find permanent housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mountain View resident Prody Hazarika supports Measure C, because he thinks people should use the safe parking program instead of parking on the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have to encourage the right path,” he said on \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101880303/election-2020-mountain-view-moves-to-keep-a-ban-on-rvs\">KQED Forum\u003c/a>. “That can only be accomplished where you have parking lots where you can get better in life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hazarika believes that Measure C gives homeowners a voice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[Homeowners] have a right to demand safe streets and good community living,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His sentiments are echoed by Mountain View Mayor Margaret Abe-Koga. She also doesn’t believe RVs are a permanent solution to housing and said Measure C would encourage people to find more stable housing or to use the city-funded safe parking program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What I’m really proud of is the safe lots that we’ve opened,” she said. “They are successful and I’m open to adding more spaces if we can.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.mountainview.gov/depts/comdev/preservation/safe_parking_program.asp\">Mountain View’s Safe Parking program\u003c/a> is the largest of its kind in Santa Clara County, with 75 spots located across the city. But according to a Safe Parking report from September, the city’s homeless population has grown over the years, from 276 in 2015 to about 606 in 2019. \u003ca href=\"https://movemv.org/\">Move Mountain View\u003c/a>, a nonprofit which helps run the safe parking program, says safe parking lots are often filled, leaving many on the waitlist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"election-2020\" label=\"Election 2020 Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite evidence that most homeless individuals are local, many of Measure C’s supporters hold a widely held belief that those living in vehicles come from elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mountain View has become known for the services that we provide, so other cities are telling folks to come here,” said former mayor Lisa Matichak during a recent forum on housing hosted by the \u003ca href=\"https://mvmha.com/\">Mountain View Mobile Home Alliance\u003c/a>. Matichak is one of four former Mountain View mayors currently running for a city council seat this November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Move Mountain View said participants of the program are asked whether they live in Mountain View before they can qualify for a parking spot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need reciprocity,” said former mayor Lenny Siegel, who is also running for a city council seat. A long-time affordable housing advocate, he opposes Measure C because he feels it pushes people out before providing an alternative housing option.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can’t throw people out until there’s a place to go,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Masvalo’s van is eight feet tall, which means she’d be affected by Measure C if it passes. She feels her job is important to the Mountain View community and wants be able to live in the city where she works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Who is going to take care of your children so that you can work your eight plus hours a day and make your wonderful annual salary?” she asked. “We’re just doing our best to make ends meet.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Unlike SB 50, which proposed taller buildings near transit, Bloom’s bill would put those four- and five-story buildings in “high-opportunity areas,” which the state’s Department of Housing and Community Development would have to specifically define by 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"more housing coverage\" tag=\"housing\"]The idea is to focus new housing construction in neighborhoods with better access to jobs, schools, air quality and other factors that lead to better health and that low-income renters and homeowners have long been excluded from. Developers who take advantage of the bill would have to offer the homes or rentals at affordable prices, construct some affordable housing on site or pay a fee to fund affordable housing construction elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“AB 1279 removes barriers to equitable and inclusive development,” said Frank Martinez, policy director with the Southern California Association of Nonprofit Housing. “Stopping some of the income and racial segregation in housing would be a big move.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are also two bills under consideration that would allow developers to turn vacant offices, dying malls and big box stores into housing. The Assembly’s version, AB 3107, requires 20% of the new housing in those commercial areas to be affordable. The Senate’s version, SB 1385, requires affordable housing only in specific circumstances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two other bills in the Senate and Assembly would expand the state’s “density bonus” law, which allows developers to build taller buildings in exchange for providing affordable housing. The Senate’s version, SB 1085, focuses on “missing middle” housing that is more affordable to middle-income earners. The proposal allows developers to build taller buildings in exchange for rental housing that is at least 30% less expensive than the median rent. The Assembly’s version, AB 2345, focuses more on boosting low-income housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11718377\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/GettyImages-973691890-e1547589744990.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11718377 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/GettyImages-973691890-e1547589744990.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/GettyImages-973691890-e1547589744990.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/GettyImages-973691890-e1547589744990-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/GettyImages-973691890-e1547589744990-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/GettyImages-973691890-e1547589744990-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/GettyImages-973691890-e1547589744990-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A view of homes and apartments on June 13, 2018 in San Francisco, California.

Agencies typically must apply separately to one of 30 programs split between six different state agencies, each with its own application process and funding timelines. AB 3300 would streamline that process by creating one application and allowing applicants to receive ongoing funding, so they don’t have to apply for the same money year after year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would be quite significant,” said Pedro Galvao of the Nonprofit Housing Association of Northern California, “and could be really impactful, if adopted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",
