From the article:
If you are used to residents turning out in force to oppose development projects, well, consider this: In Mountain View, a community group will rally Tuesday evening to oppose a draft city planning document because they want more housing built in the city, not less.
Citizens plan to chant "No housing? No plan!" before a city council meeting on Tuesday, according to a news release from the Campaign for a Balanced Mountain View, which is organizing the rally.
It's in reaction to the new North Bayshore Precise Plan, which was released last month. The plan for the city district — home to Google Inc., Intuit Corp. and LinkedIn Corp. — would allow plenty of new office development but doesn't include housing because city council members nixed that idea a couple of years ago. The city council will be taking up the issue during a 6:30 p.m. "study session," which means that they will be discussing the topic but will not be taking action.
