Find out what Alameda County residents are saying about the proposed Regional Housing Bond.



“This whole concept is GREAT!! It’s been too long in coming. My parents’ mortgage was under $300 for a five-bedroom home. My first studio apartment cost the same as their mortgage per month. My current one-bedroom apartment costs a little under $2000, for which I am grateful, but it’s telling. Everything costs too much. You know you’ll never get ahead unless you leave the state. I don’t want to do that. California holds my roots. The Bay Area is my home.”
