2 Talk overview San Mateo age demographics and projections Economic stats Housing stats Other factors to attract retain younger residents Political considerations Summary: SM County is economically in good shape, will need housing to keep up. SM Co. is more than just tech for younger workers. Will need to compete to prioritize workforce retention in public policy. Younger residents have their own needs.

3 Factors in regional job attraction and retention Jobs Housing Proximity or transit to jobs Culture Schools and family friendly

13 Where we are Going to add ~200K jobs from Most of SM Co. is employed, so workers have to mostly come from somewhere else Will need to add housing and office space to accommodate If not, people will move to SF and South Bay, and will eventually look for opportunities closer to home

14 Projected Housing Growth Redwood city: 2153 units SSF: ~250 res units and a lot of office space Daly City: Perceived need of 700 units after 2009 Brisbane: Baylands San Mateo: Bay Meadows Probably not enough, even without the NIMBYs

15 Other factors for younger workers Transit – If workers live in SF of South Bay (or within SM Co.), need better transit – Climate change will deprioritize roads, eventually Culture – Will young workers want to “hang out” in SM Co.? Family growth – Schools, parks…a lot of this is the government(s) – What does housing look like? (2-3 bd)

17 Conclusions While a lot of new jobs will be tech, it won't be all of them. So while we can focus on young techies, don't overthink them. Most new jobs will have young people coming from without. So there better be housing for them, and things to do. Moreover, there should be housing families can grow into. And easy commutes. We in San Francisco are always looking to poach these people. As is Silicon Valley. What does SM County offer? In the big public policy picture, the aging workforce is going to swamp any Gen X/Y issues. If you care about retaining younger workers, then you need to make an argument as to why they should get priority over the older residents.
