Half Moon Bay Fights Back on Housing Criticism

Half Moon Bay, a coastal city in San Mateo County, is facing a $100,000 monthly fine from Governor Newsom for missing housing goals. The city blames red tape and a 26-year-old growth cap. Despite building 144 units since 2023, almost a third of their target, and over half affordable, theyre still short of the required 480 units by 2031. The city is pushing zoning changes and collaborating to meet the law without breaking local rules. A farmworker housing project is also facing delays due to pushback on traffic and parking.
