People can’t afford homes partially because there’s not enough supply. The belief is if they create enough supply there won’t be as much a demand so the price can drop or at least level out for a bit.
@@hera7884 yes. People need housing now whereas water shortage affects people more so in the future than it does us today. They are trying to address today’s problems today by building more housing. It definitely makes people feel like they shouldn’t cut back on their water usage if permits can be obtained to build housing for multiple people but most people also don’t do things that are considerate of their own future let alone strangers future.
@@BeastMacin11 what are you talking about? Water shortages already threaten us. We need water more than we need housing. Do you not realize water is life? Housing isn’t life, look at all the homeless.
@@hera7884 there is enough water for OUR lifetime. As messed up as it is politicians have to think of the people today (and growing city’s revenue) a bit more than they do about the future and we already see at what level they’re able to do that at. They also stated that this was in the plans all the way back from 2008 so I don’t think any of us going back and forth in the comments is going to slow anything down now that the ball is rolling again. Came back to edit my comment because it’s interesting that you ended off with “look at all the homeless” as if that’s not the exact reason why they are creating more housing. The homeless don’t need water because they’re programs that will often times deliver water(granted the city of Sacramento Program did end June 30 so I’m sure homeless people will take any water donations atp) but they do need houses/stable shelter.
You an environmentalist? Well let me tell you something, we need new homes built. Housing is too darn expensive. I’m glad they moving forward with this and hopefully more after this !!!!!
@@jogmas12 that’s why they should build more high density housing rather than cookie cutter houses no one will be able to afford. There are plenty of single family homes, save our farmland
Of course...why to we need farm land? Who needs to eat? Planning commissions are a threat to CA. We are seeing it south of Hwy 50 in Folsom. 40,000 more people as we are rationing water even in a high rain year. Folsom City is crying broke, already our city utilities have doubled, and will triple again at the start of next year and the city council is proposing raising it again and higher city sales tax. Our sidewalks and roads are literally crumbling, but yeah, build out more. I saw 3 coyotes running down my street at 1 am, no doubt misplaced by the new construction. Sacramento county will be completely built on soon and all these M-Fers moving here from the Bay area, and bringing the Bay Area to us.
Not long ago there was a water shortage due to "climate change" and drought, now we can build thousands of homes all over Sacramento area, Folsom, Rocklin, Roseville etc? Ridiculous!
because it was all scam... the water shortage etc... is all made up.. they don't want to fix it... but since they can gain money from this project.. suddenly it's feasible
Will they go up overnight? Who’s the builder(s) too many of these new homes are trash and poorly built. What we don’t need is 3000 crap homes. I hope they will be built with some semblance of quality. 🏡🏠
Give a homeless family each, one of these homes instead of giving it to a corporation to handle the problem. It would be far cheaper on the taxpayer than the billions they’ve thrown at the problem already.
I am extremely upset when I see our high quality farmland (and habitat for many lowland animals) torn up for sprawl wherever I see it. These are places we go to breathe and relax, outside of the city. Renovate the city to make it denser, if necessary! Plenty of existing lots that don't require spread into undeveloped land.
There's going to be a need to add bridges across the Sacramento River. One at Sutterville Road and one at Broadway, plus the already planned bridge north of the I Street bridge.
Good thing the power grid and roadways are more than adequate to adsorb this massive influx of residents. Folsom is almost traffic free and the thousands of additional cars will not be noticeable.
Instead of 3000 million dollar and up homes, build a berm around the property, make it look pretty, then round up homeless and make it their camp. Give them toilets and showers. That's way better than the environmental impact of the automobile based disaster they're planning.
What's their definition of "affordably priced homes"? If it's a million dollars, that's not affordable.
A golf course….ridiculous waste of land
None of that will be affordable. This state is ridiculous with its collective disregard for the average person or family.
Will be affordable but to some, not.
asphalt can raise the temp 40 to 60 degrees.... where is the global warming concerns?
Why do they keep building homes if no one can afford them?

No water and no electric grid really bad infrastructure …. Build more homes that’s the answer!!??? Follow the money.
We don’t want more suburban sprawl

@@awesomeman5050 I don’t see nothing growing on that land
Then move to kansas?
You thought traffic was bad before, just wait!
No traffic in rural kansas. You packing?

Exactly.
More drain on our state's water supply, more pollution, more drain on the energy grid, etc. 😢
Where do you expect people to live?
Who is behind the money
More traffic and more potholes that Amazon and their peers in the neighborhood should be paying to fix
Not long ago there was a water shortage due to "climate change" and drought, now we can build thousands of homes all over Sacramento area, Folsom, Rocklin, Roseville etc? Ridiculous!
And the state government was telling us not to use air conditioning in 100+ weather because of the strain on the power grid

They won't
lol we have a critical housing shortage right now. and the solution is to build UNAFFORDABLE homes, UNAFFORDABLE retail fronts, and a golf course. JFC
WHAT'S YOUR WATER SUPPLY LIKE?
You are right, follow the money. I am sure this is not for normal working people. Because they never have us in mind even though we need housing

And a golf course. That won’t require much water
Enough of the sprawling plastic slums already.
Corporate foreign and wholesale investors are taking over
Only so much water dont over do it
Sprawl 🤑
West Sacramento is a swamp
Losing money paying to HOA 😂
Don't forget the additional metro tax.
But can anybody afford those times?
Terrible 🤦 smfh
There's going to be a need to add bridges across the Sacramento River.
One at Sutterville Road and one at Broadway, plus the already planned bridge north of the I Street bridge.
No. Keep those people in West Sacramento.
Do not build a bridge.
Oh no
Good thing the power grid and roadways are more than adequate to adsorb this massive influx of residents. Folsom is almost traffic free and the thousands of additional cars will not be noticeable.
We always get told about the drought and climate change, and yet there's always room to build thousands of more homes.
building homes won't stop...
Kinda missed the train on that one. It could help with the coming Depression and lack of jobs!
For people that need housing
Instead of 3000 million dollar and up homes, build a berm around the property, make it look pretty, then round up homeless and make it their camp. Give them toilets and showers. That's way better than the environmental impact of the automobile based disaster they're planning.
In view of climate change, droughts, fires ..
Why is this being allowed?
GREED
Oakland A’s coming to Sacramento?
That Las Vegas deal is going to ultimately fail, and the A's will be playing here permanently.
Own by Chinese and Saudi Arabia 😂😂😅
For the illegal immigrants probably
🇺🇸
Will there be a grocery store included?
big businesses will follow, early people will get prime locations.
Good about time they start building homes for the homeless 👍
Evrybody is trying to leave California. That new housing development is going to sit there empty.
What do you mean "Thousands of new homes are expected to break ground"!? Millions of people in this state can't afford to "BREAK WIND"!!! 🤣
