State law mandates that cities have a housing element in their general plan.
This housing element has a formula that dictates some amount of low income housing. In our case low income could mean firemen, sheriffs or teachers. Still, that is a tough nut for us. The Island Plan doesn't call for this, but rather senior housing. At some point, maybe soon the State will come calling and we will have to deal with our housing element but to date it is not part of this plan.
