The tide is turning against NIMBYism; yesterday governor Newsome signed SB9 and SB10.  I don't think these bills would impact Stanford directly, since it is not zoned for single family homes (so I don't want to go off on a tangent about those specific bills), but I think it represents a broader rethink about how the State view attempts by local communities to limit housing in their midst.  I wonder if, going forward, Stanford's plans, especially as they pertain to residential housing for undergraduates and graduate students will be harder to oppose, whether or not the legislature enacts further legislation to try to alleviate the housing crisis.
