Officials in the tony Silicon Valley town of Woodside, Calif. (population
5,600), recently debated compliance with a state law requiring that town to
have at least 16 "affordable housing" units (maximum rent for a one-bedroom
apartment, $870) in that otherwise-high-end real estate market, and the best
they could come up with, according to a November Associated Press report,
was to allow horse farmers to create "apartments" for middle-class residents
inside their barns.
