This community has one of the WORST cases of NYMBISM that I have ever seen and they really need a wake up call. I hope a developer takes it upon himself to sue the city and force them to comply to federal and state mandated laws governing affordable housing requirements.

If we allow them to build on a larger site that we've identified and allow them to build more units then maybe they will need need less money? Something for us all to think about.

Thanks for your input Mr. Fields,

This was entirely the developer's doing. 3) It was the Redevelopment Agency that was being asked to help pay for the project, not the City. (I know it's a subtle difference but let's try to be accurate.) Under state law, all redevelopment agencies have a legal obligation to provide money for low-income housing projects, so get used to the idea that the Yorba Linda Agency WILL be spending money on low-income housing projects in town. The challenge will be finding appropriate places to put them. I think it’s important to clarify a couple of things on this issue:
