Affordable housing fund allocations

Thanked Supervisor Burgis for pulling the Harbor Point apartment project and highlighted community concerns regarding infrastructure, evacuation, and public safety in Discovery Bay.

Expressed support for funding Lafayette at 949 Moraga Road, a housing project for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Defended the Harbor Point project, noting it is a fully entitled, ministerial affordable housing development that met all objective zoning and safety standards.

Raised concerns that opposing housing projects in Discovery Bay reflects an elitist approach and emphasized the urgent regional need for low-income and mental health housing.

Clarified that Discovery Bay residents' opposition is based on a lack of supporting infrastructure, public transportation, and fire equipment rather than opposition to affordable housing itself.
