At Livermore City Council s June 14 meeting, residents and city officials addressed an ongoing debate about whether toxic waste is present at the site where Eden Housing s 130-unit affordable housing development will be built.

By the time you receive this submission, the City will have decided the issue of housing in downtown Livermore. In all likelihood, the Livermore City Council will once again have decided against the will of the people they are elected to represent, and approve the âbait-and-switchâ plan put forth by Eden Housing and the City for downtown Livermore.
I listened to the public debate at the Zoom City Council meeting Monday evening. There was a rosy presentation by City staff and Eden Housing representatives. There were impassioned and eloquent presentations by those who favor aiding those in need of low-cost housing. There were equally eloquent presentations by those who favor the âwin-winâ plan to move the housing to adjacent land north of Railroad Avenue in order to provide more housing and preserve and enhance our unique downtown for the benefit of all who now, and will in the future, call Livermore home.
The Livermore City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to approve the 130-unit affordable housing community proposed for downtown by Eden Housing following a public meeting that spanned two days.
Various Bay Area cities will be kicking off Pride Month next week with flag raising ceremonies the morning of June 1. Other municipalities will follow suit on subsequent days of the month.
