It is noteworthy that Santa Cruz has opposed legislation at the state level that would place density in the cities, despite leading political figures demagoguing the evils of being a bedroom community, and the evils of letting people live in Santa Cruz while they work over the hill.
It is also failing to build the density that would allow affordable housing for its own workforce, instead maintaining luxury zoning which means that only mansions will be built for out of towners that visit sometimes but not often.
This means big profits for the working class homeowners that are now retired, but exclusion of any opportunity for working class people today.
