The second Community Workshop on Burlingame's Housing Element will be:

Tuesday, November 18, 2008
7:00 PM – 9:00 PM
Lane Community Room, Burlingame Public Library
Input from the community will be gathered through group activities and discussions, and will be used to gain local insight into housing needs and opportunities within the City.
The Housing Element is part of the City's General Plan and is a document that provides an overview of the community's existing housing conditions and future housing needs. The State of California requires all communities to plan for their future housing needs and make sure there are enough sites available in each community to provide for those needs. The purpose of the workshop is to get input from residents about housing issues in general, and about where the potential housing growth can be accommodated. Please note that we are planning for the opportunity for housing to be built, but the actual construction of the housing will occur based on the housing construction market.
The Summary Report for the October 7, 2008 Community Workshop is now available.

Mr. Weden's presentation "Winds of Change" at a recent Burlingame Community Forum was an excellent indication that there are changes in the wind – though of course change is a dirty word in Burlingame and would prefer that the wind blows elsewhere.
