Palo Alto has plenty of opinions when it comes to state legislation and a stack of letters to prove it.
Since March, the city has taken formal positions against Senate Bill 9 and Senate Bill 10, housing bills that would, respectively, allow duplexes in single-family zones and permit cities to add density in areas close to transit. It has also supported a bill to allow teleconferencing for council meetings and opposed another bill that would limit a city's rights to deny permission to telecommunication companies to install small wireless facilities on street poles.
