Redwood City has nearly tripled in population over the past 70 years but our neighborhoods look much as they did in the 1950s. This has resulted in skyrocketing housing costs, crowding and displacement. We must allow incremental changes to our city to meet the needs of the people who live here now. This means allowing for increased height, footprint and number of units per plot. It means letting our city adapt to the 21st century and having a much greater variety and supply of housing at all affordability levels. We cannot accomplish this with zoning from the middle of last century.
