Our Platform

Build more than the BART TOD minimum of 75 units/acre. Having 1,000 homes* should be on the table

Well-designed density will enhance the neighborhood

Density enables vibrant street life and increased bus frequency

We don't want a 100% market rate development (and that won't happen anyway per the MOU), but some market rate units will help pay for things we want like a nice greenway and lots of affordable homes

Maximized the number of affordable units to very low income and low income people.

A variety of sizes in apartment homes: studios as well as family-sized units

Market rate units will not only help pay for more affordable ones, but there are many kinds of people who cannot take advantage of subsidized housing: first responders, students, some people with disabilities, undocumented residents.

We think the number of affordable units is more important than the percentage. Climate change, homelessness, and housing affordability are urgent issues and we can't wait 10-20 years for funding to be found for a large amount of subsidized housing.

More parking = more cars. Reduce local traffic by not replacing all parking spaces

Prioritize connections for commuters arriving on foot, transit, or by bike

Complete streets on Sacramento, while already in progress, will ease the way for more non-drivers to get to the station

Drivers with disabled placards should have parking priority (with some spaces for carpools and electric vehicles as well)

Prioritize the Ohlone Greenway as the most important route going through the project, by creating a diagonal connection from Sacramento & Delaware to Acton & Virginia

Make a pedestrian-oriented space/plaza with a relationship to the BART entrance, which both commuters and locals can use and enjoy

If there is non-residential space, provide a variety of sizes in commercial spaces, so mom & pop stores can afford to rent, as well as chains and non-profits
