San Mateo is a popular San Francisco suburb with good public transit, highly rated public schools, an increasing number of tech jobs, and a diverse population. Everyone loves strolling through the beautiful Japanese Garden, hiking the Sawyer Camp Trail, and shopping and dining in historic Old Downtown. Like much of the Bay Area, housing is scarce, competitive, and expensive. We believe SB 9 can help fix these issues by adding more homes in a wide range of price points for people of all income levels.
