David and Jan Mintz have supported all of the city’s new housing projects, but are growing weary as they worry the new buildings are not fulfilling their promise of offering housing to Santa Cruz’s mid-income, low-income, low-low income and unhoused residents. The city, they write, is not offering any data on occupancy rates: “There is no public city process to hold the developers or owners of the new buildings to account. At least none that we can find.”
