Funny you should mention Palo Alto, but here is a direct example of the effects of SB35 wrenching control in just the manner you described:

I hope that housing gets built. SoCal needs as much housing built as possible, and even with SB35 what is possible is limited. At least NIMBY towns and residents can't permanently block projects anymore, that is a huge improvement (which will reduce development lag & stoppage).
