RESIDENTIAL The growth of new industries in the Pleasanton area, and the increasing popularity of Eastern Alameda County as a place to live, have created a strong demand for resi- dential housing in Pleasanton. Residents of the City are within reasonable commuting distance of much of the San Frandsco Bay area, and they are only minutes away from all employment centers of the Amador-Livermore Valley. A housing survey of April 1, 1967 reported that Pleas- anion had a total of 3,014 residential units. In the past four years some 1,780 new residential units have been bulk, which is an increase of substantially more since 1963. The number and dollar value of building permits in- creased very sharply in the years from 1964 through 1966. The number of new permits declined somewhat in 1967, mainly because no new subdivisions were started in that year. However, the total value of permits inc~ very substantially in 1967 and 1968 as the result of new indus- trial construction. Residential construction alao increased in the first half of 1968. 1960 130 $ 1,258,508 1961 140 1,255,922 1962 111 1,228,550 1963 115 1,497,629 1964 366 7,013,056 1965 588 8,033,039 1966 931 14,451,565 1967 564 20,427,997 1968 716 12,142,453* 'Values shown are generally higher than tho~e l~ab!ishe~, in the Series A bond prospectus be~use former value hmng included only residential and commercial properties, whereas all t~rmits are reflected in pr~amt table. **First 6 months only.
