The costs of housing
I’m looking for facts about the state mandate for housing in Santa Cruz County. Perhaps the Sentinel or its readers can help. What happens if Santa Cruz County cannot or does not comply with the state mandate? Has a cost-benefit analysis been done about losing state funds versus the endless upward spiral of costs to crowd in more people? Increasing population takes water, roads, schools, police, fire, garbage disposal, public services, loss of quality of life. What are the realities of this dilemma?
