Atherton is joining Woodside in receiving extensive feedback from the state on its proposed housing element, a blueprint for future housing growth that must be revised and approved by Jan. 31.
During an at times heated candidate forum on Thursday, Sept. 29, the five seeking seats on the Portola Valley Town Council this November fielded questions on housing, concerns about town staff s response times, wildfire risk and more.
