      • Sunnyvale’s demographic outlook – growth, by age group, renters vs homeowners, etc.
      • Sunnyvale’s Site Inventory – RHNA numbers for different income levels, where are sites, etc.
      • Village Centers – master plan and how we can get involved.
      • Affirmatively Further Fair Housing (AFFH) – what it is, requirements and how will the City meet this?
