Housing Element AFFH Survey Summary 25 3 Conclusion The objective of this survey was to better understand the opinions of who may face exclusion or barriers to housing in Pleasanton on various city-wide issues related to housing; gather constructive feedback on preferences and priorities on new housing development; identify challenges and opportunities; and understand the perspective of the community in addressing housing needs. Overall, the survey provided comprehensive and identifiable themes and feedback that will provide insight into future policy discussions. The survey provided a wide range of varying opinions and perspectives on housing within the city. While opinions and perspective varied from question to question, the respondents engaged in the questions and options presented in the survey, and provided useful input on housing issues, opportunities, locations for future housing, and the types of housing that can best meet the community’s housing needs. The survey also provided context about racial disparities in housing cost burden and homeownership. With respect to housing challenges, the most significant housing challenge identified was the lack of affordability and cost burden associated with renting and owning a home in Pleasanton. The survey put forward a broad range of policy strategies could be supported as the City works to identify a range of feasible programs and actions to support community housing needs. The strategies with the most support were: maintaining the current affordable housing stock, protecting tenants and low income communities from unjust evictions and limited annual rent increases, and creating more housing by making it faster and easier to build housing at all income levels. Building housing in areas that are zoned for office and retail and modifying zoning in single family residential areas to add density produced a mixed response.
