WATSONVILLE — Aug. 12 marked the official opening of Sparrow Terrace in Watsonville, a brand-new housing complex that will feature 72 affordable apartments for low-income families, farmworkers and formerly homeless people.

The Community Room at the Sparrow Terrace affordable housing complex in Watsonville. The estimated cost of the development was $56 million. It was developed by the MidPen Housing Corporation, said Senior Associate Project Manager Carlos Lurado.
The project was paid for by a total of eight funders, which range from the city of Watsonville, the Housing Authority of the County of Santa Cruz, and even international-banking leviathan Wells Fargo.
This is where taxpayer money goes: building subsidized housing a few miles from the beach on the Monterey Bay.
No Americans will be allowed: "Program Manager" Carlos Jurado and his buddies will make sure that no gringos ever get near this place, and if they accidentally do, the Mexican gangbangers who will end up running it will take care of it with a little ethnic cleansing.
This is the plan for places like Pacific Palisades too. The Colonistas from South of the "border" will use American taxes to build themselves luxury homes in the nicest areas of the formerly "United" states.
Viva La Reconquista! Yee hah!
I’ve dealt with subsidized renters. They made a ghetto. On account of it’s not the building or the location that makes a ghetto. It’s residents.
Hilo, Hawaii. The bank built a complex with the government picking the tenants. The bank was not going to lose any money-just break even. After 40 years the bank owns it 100%. 40 years of subsidized housing to keep the people from rioting I/ guess.
More slums newly built.
Great.
That’s all true, but what makes it more egregious is the fact that it’s clearly intended to go to Mexicans in this case, and in general to non-Whites, and the fact that it’s literally down the street from beach resorts.
Why is ANYONE being subsidized to live in such a place, much less Mexican illegal aliens?
If it weren’t for subsidized “farmworkers” and worse, subsidized farmers, the land in this area would be ridiculously expensive.
This is 6 miles from the complex:
Got that? Multi million dollar homes on the beach just a short drive down the road.
If it weren’t for continued desperate games by the local Beach Bolsheviks, the land would have been sold off to resort developers years ago.
“The Projects” have been around for over 100 years, especially after WWII.
They used to be concrete block duplexes with little yards. I lived in one as a young kid.
Now they build crowded apartment buildings which quickly turn into the jungle.
Post this to Pres Trump’s Truth account. Post it on X.
Copy in HUD Secy Scott Turner.
Ask why so close to the beach when average Americans cannot even afford anything within 50 ++ miles of a nice beach.
$56 million for 72 apartments is $777,778 per apartment!
No doubt the construction started years ago.
At one time you were able to afford to live decently on ONE salary, the man’s, and there were no “affordable” housing units paid for by somebody else.
You could buy 72 apartments or townhouses for a lot less than that
Or the Amish or Elon Musk could build tiny houses or some family type shelters
Most of that money goes into the pockets of the so-called do-gooders and their family and friends
Any bets on how long it takes them to tear out the wiring and plumbing to sell it for dope? How long before the walls are full of holes, the windows are broken, and the doors are hanging off one hinge?
Instead of letting hardworking Americans who pay taxes who need a hand live in them.
No wonder people stay on public assistance.
$56 million / 72 = $780k per unit - for low cost housing? Either the tenant is getting steal or the developer got a steal though he likely had a lot of kickback expenses.
Any bets on how long it takes to render this place uninhabitable? My guess: Two years.
Farm workers?
So single men likely, but what about single women cashiers (or other full time low income job)?
You misspelled “months.”
The politicians always claim these projects are for working people.
Within a few years there are no workers living there any more—unless drug dealing counts as work.
Lol.
Why anyone trusts politicians to do anything is beyond me.
“Ask why so close to the beach when average Americans cannot even afford anything within 50 ++ miles of a nice beach”
That’s MY question!
