Yes, this target is wrong; it should really be somewhere around double this number. And I've said so to City Council (e.g., in cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/f… , page 75).

Quick! We all need to stop Palo Alto from being required to add 10,058 homes (houses or apartments) over the 8 year period of 2023-2031. How can a city that residents describe as being nearly as dense as Hong Kong add 1260 homes per year? This is craziness!

Speaking of which, I have been to Hong Kong... (Hong Kong is dense, but it also has plenty of open space.)

I've been to both Palo Alto and Hong Kong and if you think about the commute down the escalators or even Aberdeen Harbour or the number of people on the MTR or the tower blocks that are so dense they have *three mobile cells* to cover one tower block...
