According to ABAG representative Leah Zippert, The RHNA is a five decade old state mandated process that will need local governments to plan for residents' housing needs. Bay Area governments are needed to demonstrate that enough new housing can be built, She believed.

"One trial that we face, Which is mirrored across cities in your neighborhood, Is meeting the allocation for below market rate housing,
Arregun noted that the city had recently produced 800 units of budget friendly housing, Crediting the increase to funds such as Measure O. He added that he is considering options for a bond measure to secure funding to accelerate the building of affordable housing.
Robinson noted that accelerating density, giving up exclusionary zoning and a "awesome" Amount of student housing would be to be able to satisfy the RHNA plan. He also encouraged public input to the method at a city housing element update workshop Jan. 27.
"for the complete region, Transit rich cities like us at the core of the bay area have a duty to step up and plan for maintainable, equitable growth, Robinson said in the e-mail.
