A San Francisco developer filed a lawsuit against Santa Clara today, accusing the city of violating state housing law and breaching their contract by killing the company’s affordable and workforce housing project behind closed doors.

Developer Republic Metropolitan was proposing to build 170-units of student and workforce housing and 70 affordable homes on a parcel owned by the city and the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority at 500 South Benton St.
