Referring to a comments about putting affordable housing on city-owned property, one man calling himself Guy Gator said low-income housing is a “very poor decision to make.” “When we put these public housings in our communities, you’re pretty much like lowering the property value of everybody else’s homes,” the man said. “Because low-income housing brings low-income trash like illegal beaners from Mexico and ni**ers and people we just don’t want here in Pacific Grove.

RHNA Goals Are Out Of Reach

RHNA – Newsome’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation. Only one thing to do, force residents that have extra unused bedrooms to rent them out to the low-income population. It’s The Substainable Thing To Do.

Rooms For Rent

The Housing Element addresses a range of housing issues such as affordability, housing types, density, and location, and establishes goals, policies and programs to address existing and projected housing needs.

Pacific Grove’s RHNA number sits at 1,125 units expected to be added by 2031, a huge challenge for a built-out city with limited space for new housing and some of the most expensive housing along the Monterey Peninsula.

As a result, Pacific Grove will be hard-pressed to provide housing at the low-income level. The state dramatically increased RHNA numbers on the city. The last RHNA requirements in the period of 2015 through 2023 were set at 115 units. From there to the current 1,125 units is an increase of 878%, with little or no explanation about why such a pronounced jump.

The site is just a short stroll from the tidepools of Point Pinos and Asilomar State Park. The 84 units are among l, 125 units the city believes it is required to designate for development, all to accommodate the state’s mandate to address California’s housing crisis.
