I have read, over the years, that Stanford has had a complicated relationship with local governments in the surrounding area, and that there have been agreements specifying the amount of development Stanford has been allowed to pursue. This topic comes up in the context of housing for grad students and faculty. I'm posting here because I saw an article today about a new CA law that allows non-profit institutions of higher education to bypass local regulations if they develop affordable housing. I wonder whether Stanford would be inclined to use a portion of its enormous campus to contribute to the local affordable housing stock, and if so, whether this new law also would help Stanford bypass the agreements it has in place that limit development on Stanford's campus.
