Editorial: The human cost of housing scarcity

Palo Alto Jane Huang, 29 Huang moved to Palo Alto with her parents at the age of four. She attended local high schools and Stanford University. Yet despite her hard work, the Palo Alto housing market is too challenging for her to foresee a future in her hometown. “I went to Stanford, I work as a software developer, I make a six-figure income, and I still have to live with three roommates,” Huang said. “What more can I do?” Huang isn’t worried about not being able to pay her rent, but she is worried about doing anything that might upset her landlord. “Landlords have a lot more power here than they used to,” she said. “They know how impossible it would be for their renters to find anything else locally.” While her concerns for herself are real and serious — “With the current housing market , I’m afraid I’ll have to live with roommates for the rest of my life” — she’s equally concerned about what the housing market means for the many Palo Altans who weren’t fortunate enough t...

Orange Says No To Housing Near Ucf

Neighbors' Complaints Bout Noise And Crime Help Kill A 630-apartment Expansion Of The Quadrangle Development. March 24, 1999 | By Kevin Spear of The Sentinel Staff Homeowners near the University of Central Florida and developers were stunned Tuesday when Orange County commissioners denied requests to build more than 600 apartments near the college. The construction was opposed by neighbors who complained of noise, crime and unruly behavior at several hundred apartments built in recent years. In unanimous votes, commissioners rejected proposals to add 630 apartments to the existing 750 at the Quadrangle, a development of business, offices and apartments just outside UCF. ``I can't believe it - I'm absolutely floored,'' said Sue Eberle, who lives near the Quadrangle and helped lead opposition to apartment expansion. ``I always had hope, but this is beyond anything I had hoped for.'' Part of the shock stemmed from the fact that many of the proposed apartmen...

(Photo: Chris Pedota/NorthJersey.com file) For students recovering from drug and alcohol addiction, the typical college campus can seem like a minefield of temptation, with frat parties, tailgating and late night rounds of beer pong. To help recovering students cope , Montclair State University has set aside a floor in one of its dormitories for those committed to sobriety. Officials hope it will give recovering students a refuge on campus, as well as a way for them to develop a small community of classmates who can provide each other support. The initiative at Montclair State  is part of a growing trend nationally , with about 50   coll...

Chuy : Plans for revamped San Marcos shopping center include 233 apartments

Aug. 24--An Austin developer has changed course on plans to revamp a San Marcos shopping center . Since taking control of Springtown Center in 2014, Endeavor Real Estate has landed a number of high-profile tenants to fill what was, at the time, a sickly strip mall that was only 10 percent occupied. Additions have included heavy hitters such as Chuy's, Gold's Gym and The Spot, an entertainment venue. While Endeavor had initially been in talks with a number of interested retailers to fill the remaining space in the shopping center , the developer has decided to go another route. Instead, it is demolishing a chunk of the center between Chuy's and the former Target store that's now home to Gold's Gym and The Spot to make way for a multi- story apartment building that will have 233 units with 32,000 square feet of ground- floor retail space . The project will be called The Lyndon after former President Lyndon B. Johnson who attended nearby Texas State University ba...

Purdue University freshman Brandon Wolter waits at a bus stop outside Blackbird Farms Apartments on Wednesday, Aug. 23, 2017. Wolter is one of 240 students who were placed in Blackbird apartments due to overflow in on- campus residential halls . (Photo: Meghan Holden/Journal & Courier) WEST LAFAYETTE , Ind. — Brandon Wolter 's living situation is unlike that of most Purdue University freshmen who choose to live in residential housing. Rather than sleeping in a cramped dorm room, Wolter shares a spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment with three other freshmen.  The residence comes with amenities one would expect in a luxury apartment, such as a balcony, a full kitchen with a dishwasher, a washer and dryer, and free parking. There's also a pool and fitness center across the street. The catch? He lives about two miles outside campus and is a 10- minute bus ride  away from the thousands of other freshmen living in the dorms. "The worst part is planning ahead,...
