Despite passing Measure G in 2020, board trustees are criticized for not exploring alternative solutions like dormitory construction on campus or repurposing struggling local hotels. There are concerns about the impact on existing residents and whether the district is failing in its responsibility to innovate in student housing while balancing community needs.
