Poll
Should Walnut Creek allow taller apartment buildings downtown so more homes can be built near BART?
Downtown height and new homes are a live argument in Walnut Creek. This records readers of this paper. It is not a city election.
The question is about new homes near the Walnut Creek BART station, not a vote on any one building.
