Letter to the Editor | Where? When?

A wealthy suburb with a history of racial discrimination is forced, by law, to designate sites for low-income housing.

A group of residents organizes and tells the City Council “not near us!”

The Council relents and designates a former landfill in a canyon accessible only by a high-speed thoroughfare previously identified by city staff as dangerous for drivers and pedestrians.

No one seems to care. 

Where: Piedmont, California

When: 2022
