When you see something like this (940 and 960 High Street, Palo Alto, CA):
- 8 minutes walk from Palo Alto Caltrain, or from University Avenue in the center of downtown
- zoned for 35 foot high residential construction (RT-35)
- in a location that has had high rents for years

Nope. Palo Alto has 24 sites listed in in cumulis.epa.gov/supercpad/cu… ; none are downtown. Most are in the Stanford Research Park area.

Also:
How many of those 55 parcels zoned RT-35 were developed in 2004 or later (by "Year Built SCCA")?
None!
(The 10 parcels zoned RT-50 did a little better; 2 were developed: 101 Forest and 801/809 Alma.)
I'd say this makes it pretty hard to call the SOFA II plan a success.
