Heavy hill area plan favored by developers in Hayward
Hayward planners adopt a land use plan east of Mission Boulevard enabling extensive multi family development on about 1126 acres. Residents of Fairway Greens oppose, and an initiative to block apartments follows the plan. Developers back staff recommendations but fear density limits hinder peak value. Attorney Anthony Varni argues grazing land designation blocks density. The project includes a large apartment village inside the hillside area.

Food prices rise 15 percent in second quarter
Agricultural Department reports the cost of food in the United States during the second quarter rose about 15 percent from a year earlier and 6 percent from the first quarter, with wheat corn and soybeans expected to hit new records while prices may not fall soon. The average market basket for a household of 3.2 shows a rising grocery bill as farmers face higher raw material costs and middlemen charges. Officials project 1973 retail food prices to be 18 to 23 percent above 1972 levels.
