That elevates our current planning -status to one of acute failure; But who is accounting for a statewide residency -inadequacy, anyway? Certainly not SLO, with its long history of restrictive 'zoning' & 'smart' growth.... COMMENT:: This presently considered Avila Ranch (AR) project isn't going to solve/dent that kind of a state/national residency -shortfall. However, it can serve as an antici ator concent -window it into what is possible, now & tomorrow; A demonstration of'abodic-experimentalism'....a lost art of modern times. The framing -question (ergo, outcome -thesis) might be this:: "As planners, are we contributing to a Housing Crisis or, are we complicit in a Residency Crime?" Ask ourselves, Do we want mere programmatic Residential renderings, or is it time to accommodate more novel, poetic Residency outcomes?
