A new residential project has been proposed for development at 4335-4345 El Camino Real in Palo Alto. The project proposal includes the construction of a new residential community offering townhomes within 29 new three-story buildings. The project will replace existing buildings offering commercial and motel uses.
Summer Hill Homes LLC is the project developer. SDG Architects Inc is responsible for the designs. R3 Studios is responsible for the landscape architecture.

Let me put forth the standard NIMBY objections :
i) Since this is not enough supply to immediately lower prices by enough, it should not be built at all.
ii) Since it cannot be completed immediately and will take years, it should not be built at all.
How did I do?
What this community needs is more affordable housing for people of color, transgender and newly arrived immigrants. I’m sure progressive professor’s at Stanford University would agree!
Quit posting this same stupid troll point. It isn’t even very clever trolling.
From a land use perspective – this is fine – there is some lite density and a good amount of trees and landscaping, an improvement. Fine. From an architectural perspective, these things are a bummer. Who likes this material pallete, why does it keep getting built?
This relatively new practice of making it one criterion of a land use decision that some POC be inserted into every community with which they have nothing in common is becoming more prominent by the day in the SF Bay Area. Plus, in making the housing ‘affordable’, you get ugly buildings like these in order to make it pencil out.
If you crazy Yimbys would keep things to three stories in Palo Alto we wouldn’t have to fight you so hard to keep you from destroying our town. As you probably don’t know, our city is 25 feet at most from the water table. Destroying that is an ecological disaster. We have designed extremely sensible building codes which you always choose not to follow, because you are determined that housing should cost a kajillion dollars. If you would just be reasonable and follow our codes, you could have built a lot more housing without flamethrowering the environment on napalm setting
