"A massive housing project in the hills southwest of Pittsburg got the City Council’s nod of approval despite some opposition from residents, conservationists and environmentalists.

Monday’s 4-0 vote – with Councilman Juan Banales recusing himself – came after the Planning Commission agreed in mid-February not to recommend the project and developer Louis Parsons of Discovery Builders appealed that decision.

Two decades in the making, the Faria/Southwest Hills Annexation Project proposes to build 1,500 homes mostly clustered in the valleys in the southwest Pittsburg hills, just out of the city’s limits and overlooking the former Concord Naval Weapons Station.

This week’s approvals included a green light for the housing project’s master plan, an amendment to the city’s general plan and pre-zoning designations, and a development agreement with Faria Land Investors, a Seeno/Discovery Builders associate."

They better move quick before the county environmentalists convince the NIMBYs they need a multi-billion dollar bond issue to buy up that land and turn it into protected open space.

This the perversity of so-called "Enviromentalism" and "Open Space" movements in the Bay Area. They very sprawl they claim to hate, they *create*, pushing people out to Tracy, Modesto and even beyond.

(Concord) very large Latin population. It used to only be monument blvd that was a Latino strip but that expanded. There is a bit of a black and Asian population as well. There used to be a significant Japanese population but that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore, they left.

Three of the U.S.’s fastest-growing Asian communities are in the Bay Area

"The Asian population is growing across the country, and three cities in the Bay Area’s Tri-Valley have some of the fastest-growing Asian communities.

Dublin, Pleasanton and San Ramon in the Tri-Valley were among the top 10 large cities with at least 30% of their population identifying as Asian that had the highest growth since 2010, an analysis of census data shows.

Dublin is the fastest growing city in California overall and its Asian population is fueling that growth. In the last decade, the suburban city’s Asian population grew from about 12,000 in 2010 to nearly 39,000 in 2020 — a 219% increase, according to decennial census data. The Asian populations in Pleasanton and San Ramon — two other Tri-Valley area cities — grew by 94% and 68%, respectively, during the same 10-year period. "

"The fastest-growing subgroup among Asian Americans was the Nepalese population, which more than tripled between 2010 and 2020, growing from 6,200 to nearly 20,000 over the last decade."
