Redwood City Forward

Redwood City Forward Redwood City residents and workers seeking the best options for housing, transportation and community vitality. Our goals are to:

1.

We are a group of residents committed to thoughtful and civil discourse on the future of Redwood City (RWC). We seek to broaden the discussion around choices in the areas of housing, transportation and vibrancy to include more voices. We believe that there are solutions to the challenges facing our city and our region and that a positive and thoughtful approach can achieve great outcomes. Democrat

ize and broaden the conversation around land use policy so that all voices are represented: young, old, renters, owners, a wide range of socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds, long-time residents and newcomers. One of the best things about Redwood City is that it remains a diverse community. Balancing the needs of such a wide range of people also carries challenges, but they are worth taking on.

2. Find the solutions to housing and transportation challenges that the most Redwood City residents can agree on. We recognize that every solution has trade-offs, few solutions will please everyone and there are no silver bullets. But this shouldn’t keep us from trying.

3. Inform the discussion with facts by educating ourselves on what’s been tried, what’s worked and what hasn’t. Many cities face similar challenges and we can learn from each other.

4. Work together to encourage the adoption of best practices and work towards the goals of increased and better options for housing and transportation. Moderation rules:
No profanity
No ad hominem attacks
This is not a place to complain - but a place to offer ideas, examples and solutions. No flame wars - though animated discussions are certainly welcome.

Our state and city have made great strides in housing production and equity. But it’s important to remember what the antecedents of exclusionary zoning are: rent seeking, exclusion and segregation.

On housing restrictions as the latest phase in the struggle against America’s tendencies towards becoming a closed access order.

It’s amazing to see a transportation secretary not only admit to the problem of our nation’s deadly roads, but devote real resources to safety improvements.

We have a crisis on our streets. Far too many of our families, friends and loved ones have been impacted by the tragic results of traffic crashes.

We are deploying resources to help fix this. Starting today, funding is available through the Safe Streets and Roads for All program, which will provide up to $6 billion over five years for communities of all sizes to make their streets safer.

We know that traffic fatalities are happening at an outsized rate in rural and tribal communities. That's why we are making it as easy as possible for smaller communities and tribal governments to apply for these funds. Go to https://www.transportation.gov/SS4A to learn how. Together, we can save lives.

A bipartisan Wall Street Journal op-Ed calls for an end to exclusionary zoning and outdated land use policies such as parking minimums which drive up the cost of housing, encourage automobile dependence, restrict opportunity and throttle the economy.

The shortage is caused by a combination of zoning and financing rules and supply-chain constraints.
