Davis voters must decide whether to approve the Village Farms Davis development, which would add 1,800 housing units to the city, in order to address the city’s housing shortage and affordability crisis, while balancing environmental and infrastructure concerns.
The political fight over Measure V and the proposed Village Farms project has been marked by dueling polls, with both sides refusing to release the full survey questions, leading to accusations of bias and dishonesty from opponents.
A survey released by the Village Farms project team found that 61% of likely Davis voters would vote “Yes” on Measure V, which will appear on the June 2 ballot, after hearing detailed information about the project.
The Village Farms Davis project has been falsely accused of having adverse environmental impacts, but data and facts show that it is designed to meet or exceed environmental standards and will not have any significant negative effects on the surrounding area.
Measure J, while presented as democratic, actually excludes marginalized and disadvantaged people from having a say in housing policy, resulting in a system that is biased towards those already in the housing market.
