The Housing category page on your site works like a hub for housing-focused articles, interviews, and explainers that are especially relevant to Bay Area and Silicon Valley homeowners, buyers, and policy-watchers. It’s a mixed feed of written blog posts and audio/interview-style content, organized under the “Category: Housing,” with many posts cross-tagged into related themes like Seniors, Governmental, Development, Building, Buyers, Sellers, and specific regions like Santa Cruz County and Santa Clara County.
The posts themselves cover a wide range of “real-world housing” topics. On the lifestyle and planning side, you have content like Strategies for Aging in Place in the Bay Area, which frames aging-in-place as a growing approach to elder care and staying put longer.
On the practical/ownership side, the category includes how-to resources on adding housing or value, including Building an ADU in Santa Clara County and Building an Accessory Dwelling Unit in Santa Cruz County, plus a California Proposition 19 FAQ that tackles one of the biggest tax-and-transfer issues for California homeowners. You also have buyer-focused guidance like a first-time home buyer down payment assistance article, and even a local lifestyle/market piece on best luxury neighborhoods.
