Residents should continue to follow ongoing housing challenges in Half Moon Bay, including the long-standing Measure D growth control law and the 555 Kelly Avenue farmworker housing project, both of which remain key topics in local civic discussions. Additionally, the city is under scrutiny from state authorities regarding housing compliance, as noted in Governor Newsom's March 2026 enforcement action. These issues are central to Half Moon Bay's development and legal landscape. No new meetings are scheduled imminently, but these housing matters remain important for residents to watch.
