Parking Crisis in Santa Clara's Affordable Housing | California News

Santa Clara’s Calle Del Mundo and Calle De Luna are facing a parking crisis as new apartment buildings flood the area, leaving longtime residents stranded blocks away from home. One rideshare driver walks miles after shifts; another lost his car to tow fees he couldn’t afford — a stark reminder of how vital parking is for survival. While city officials hear the complaints and try to balance housing needs with mobility, state law (AB 2097) actually limits parking requirements near transit, forcing developers to build less. Even those building new projects admit parking is essential — but everyone agrees: the real solution lies in expanding public parking options before it’s too late.
