Silicon Valley cities have widely and prodigiously failed to meet state goals for affordable housing. Palo Alto is near the bottom of the pack, providing just 6 percent of its target for very low income housing, and 13 percent of its low income housing in the most recent development period. New state guidelines will impose stiffer penalties for ignoring the standards. But the community resistance to new housing common in Palo Alto and many other Bay Area cities has a stubborn and lasting affect.
