Council Member Wahab asked staff to research the potential to include project labor agreements in housing projects and consider incorporating language about livable wages or local hire; had concerns that the AMI (average median income) for families in Hayward was significantly lower than the AMI for Alameda County and individuals who have a greater AMI were still unable to purchase a home; stressed the importance of prioritizing homeownership and providing housing units that were of appropriate and dignified size; suggested the criteria for the Minor Home Repair program also include safety improvements such as the installation of beams to support earthquake-resistant buildings; was concerned about rental monopolies and evictions; hoped that plans for ADUs could be expedited; requested a report on the number of complaints from tenants, complaints from tenants' rights groups, and evictions; and stressed the importance of adequate parking and developments that are environmentally friendly.

Mayor Halliday emphasized that Hayward has been proactively building housing for various income levels but the challenge has been the lack of funding for affordable housing and homeownership opportunities; emphasized the City's role was to zone for housing and work with developers to permit housing; hoped that when reparation discussions occur, the state provide funding to compensate for some of the inequities; noted that housing needs neighborhood-serving commercial development and transportation options; mentioned that Southland Mall could incorporate housing units similar to the Santana Row model with housing over commercial; and noted there were challenges with the availability of water supply which pits environmental concerns with urban demands for water supply and recommended this be addressed in the Housing Element; and was proud of residents who advocated for diverse housing types.
