Caltrain Adopts Affordable Housing Policy
The two plots of land most likely to be made available to developers are in Mountain View and Redwood City, totaling 4.8 acres.
SAN MATEO COUNTY (KPIX 5) — Peninsula residents can expect to see more affordable housing built along the Caltrain corridor in the near future, that’s a promise from the board of directors. Caltrain recently committed that for all future construction, 30 percent of the units built will be allocated for affordable housing.
“Transit-oriented development is a good way to just guarantee a population of people that are going to use the train on a regular basis, and that’s just a logical place for a transit agency to go,” Caltrain spokesperson Dan Lieberman said.
