Car Free

While I'm all for more not entirely car-centric development, I'm not sure this sounds right to me, though not being familiar with the area I can't be sure. But a relatively isolated and not especially large dense development not all that close to BART doesn't sound like a sure thing to me. If you don't have enough local demand you really can't support enough walkable retail to make it desirable. I don't think 1000 units is quite enough. Still this bit reminds us what I keep trying to explain... it's illegal to build cities in most places, even in cities!

New residential development in California commonly requires two parking spaces per housing unit. Under the new Hayward zoning, there is no minimum number of spaces, only maximums - 1.3 spaces per studio or one-bedroom unit, to 1.5 spaces for a two-unit or larger home.
