The project to build a 40-unit housing complex for retired farm workers in Half Moon Bay has become a source of frustration for neighbors like Jeanette Chang.'I feel like we don't have a voice. We go to these meetings, and it's just a rubber stamp. The urgency and the need for it, I agree. But how they're going about it is not right,' Chang said.
Rather than do the right thing and approve badly needed housing for the workers who feed us, a 40-unit complex for low-income seniors is being stalled by local officials.'Newsom added that the state could take legal steps to hold the city accountable if the project does not move forward.'We've all seen the conditions that farmworkers are living in. I've worked to secure $3.2 million from the state along with Assemblymember Mark Berman,' said State Senator Josh Becker.
