Developers of 1 Half Moon Bay Drive feed village residents pizza and their side of the controversial housing development story.

Anti-urbanization activists failed to make the cut for the event, which could only hold 30 guests, but many in attendance had tough questions for the organizers.

As part of their request to rezone 1 Half Moon Bay Drive for a 280 apartment complex, the owners of the former “Finkelstein property”—now organized as 1 Half Moon Bay Property Owner, LLC—promised to hold a series of “community meetings” about their plans for the site. This first of these was held last evening, August 27, at Capriccio’s Pizzeria & Restaurant on South Riverside Avenue. It turned out to be a lively affair in more ways than one.
