{{cite web}}: CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link){{cite book}}: |website= ignored (help)On a Sunday afternoon a few years ago, about a dozen neighbors held a meeting with Craig Hughes, who was then the mayor of Portola Valley. The backyard gathering in the small, wealthy Silicon Valley enclave was civil, Hughes said, but his constituents left an unmistakable message. If Hughes and other town leaders produced a state-mandated affordable housing plan that wasn't to the residents' liking, they should expect a battery of litigation that could lead to Portola Valley's bankruptcy.
Historically, Portola Valley hasn't allowed multifamily housing complexes to be built in town. As a result, the community is a homogenous enclave: 75% white (compared to 35% in San Mateo county overall), with a median household income of $250,000 and an average home value of $3.8 million. As of 2020, 81% of the town's housing stock was made up of single-family homes, many on lots of an acre or larger.
