• ‘Will cost the town dearly': Los Gatos warned against fighting builder's remedy project (localnewsmatters.org) — A 13-story “builder’s remedy” apartment tower proposed near Winchester Boulevard and Highway 85 has sparked a legal showdown between its developer and the Town of Los Gatos, with both sides warning of costly consequences. Town officials insist they’re processing the Vista Capri application under standard rules, while the developer argues Los Gatos is improperly obstructing the project and has already sued, leaving residents watching courts and council for what happens next.
