📰 News we're reading

• Sustainable Development and Land Use Update 9.10.26 (jdsupra.com) — Half Moon Bay residents should know the City Council just approved an ordinance allowing higher-density housing on several local properties and enabling staff-level approval for certain affordable projects without public hearings. Because the city sits entirely in the Coastal Commission's jurisdiction, those zoning changes still need state certification before they can take effect, potentially affecting when and where new homes get built locally.
