They have not approved a single project with new family housing in that time.<\/li>\n<li>Measure V would develop about 400 acres into roughly 1,800 residences for varying income levels. The Village Farms project would be surrounded on three sides by existing neighborhoods.<\/li>\n<li>UC Davis enrollment has grown more than 50% since 2000, contributing to long commutes, high housing prices and declining school enrollment.<\/li>\n<li>The project includes affordable housing, townhomes and small single-family residences, with half the land preserved as open space. The Davis City Council unanimously approved it before sending it to voters.<\/li>\n<li>State housing officials have been watching Davis closely. The City Council has twice avoided placing a measure before voters to exempt affordable housing from the public vote requirement, apparently fearing rejection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p><i>The summary points above were compiled with the help of AI tools and edited by journalists.
